Stephan Grappelli 70th birthday concert

[taghioff1]

I am a great fan of Stephane and have seen him live 5 times. I also contributed on Wikipedia a list (not complete) of his many recordings.

No matter how much I love the Dawg, he was the weak link here. Fricken stand up bass player. Don't remember his name but I know he's Scandinavian...oh my gooooo*. Amazing!!!

[jchillerup]

@capitalismforme Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen I think...

[1953mel]

wow!!!

[tangkaijie]

Stephane just got the spirit of jazz!

[poodernet]

I cried for days when Stephan died. First time heard him was with Menuhin playing 'Jealousy' (sorry, I'm an Ameircan) on my way to Berklee College of Music. I had the honor of hearing Maestro Grappellii play six times at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis. I'm overjoyed that he lives on YouTube. - samg

As a teenager, my parents took me to see Stephane Grappelli play in Cheltenham, England, in the mid 1970s and I had forgotten that he had played with the Diz Disley Trio until seeing this video and the comments. Thanks for jogging the old the memory! We also got to meet them backstage afterwards and I remember Stephane Grappelli as being absolutely charming, my mother was in heaven!

Wow that was cool seeing David Grisman play along side of all these jazz musicians. I'm more used to hearing him play bluegrass, newgrass, and all that other progressive acoustic stuff.

[cogojere]

juste exellent !!!

[STANLIZ4]

Just brilliant!!

Is it possible you could post it again, complete, presumably you have it all, it would be appreciated

[AWHSON]

In this member, is not there other music?

[stepmastafunky]

i've had a few lessons of John Etheridge over the years. top bloke

[wildorinj1st]

Thanks for the info chaps, amazing as NHOP is I wouldn't say he plays circles around these guys, he's a giant among giants, but compared with your average bass player . . .

[jfp457]

as in so many contexts he found himself in, NHOP plays circles around everybody..

[wildorinj1st]

They are all top class but the double bass player's solo is astonishing, who is he? George shearing's piano solo is masterful too.

The great Niels-Henning Orsted Petersen

The other mandolin player was David Grisman who played most notably with Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead.

[TheBachands]

WOW! That was amazing! Loved every minute of it, but it did end rather abruptly... what a great bunch of musicians! Who is the mandolin player? Obviously it's Stephane Grappelli on violin, but who is the other violinist? Thanks for posting :)

[glengillo]

i think Diz Disley is the guitar player on the right in this fantastic session. It ends abruptly - any chance of a continuation?

[turlangton22]

yes...that is Diz Disley on guitar on the right...

[mikio1201]

I am splendid!

In this member, I want to hear other music.

[markcontreras]
