I saw Stephane live, once, in San Francisco. I set out to be critical, to be jaded --- but he melted my heart. Then I was allowed to slip backstage to meet him, and he was so gracious and approachable. I can't see how anyone could not like this (even if the particular style of music isn't one's favorite)!
HE WAS MAGICIAN PRETENDING TO BE A JAZZ FIDDLER. IN FACT HE WAS BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. LEFT U EXTREMELY SHAKEN UP. AFTER U LEFT WHEN HE WAS FINISHED ALL THE STREET LIGHTS SUDDENLY APPEARED IT IS CALLED HYPNOTIZATION.

Stephane Gapelli said he learned his violin style from listening to Django play! One of the great/amazing things about Stephane is that he played with as much ease and consistency on the really hard parts as he did on the easy parts!
He truly was the master. I have loved his playing since I was a small boy. Over 50 years later, his music is just as fresh and invigorating. We are lucky to have his recordings.
I saw Stephan when I was in my twenties, I'm now in the seventy arena. I loved him then and I still love listening to him. Have no fear, not everyone get to go to the moon.. Gigi!
Genius a million times over...I saw him in Houston in 1979, playing at Rockefeller Club...nostalgia of the best kind. God bless America, the birthplace of jazz music!
And which took years, finally taking notice of how great the jazz musicians we had by seeing what they did in Europe, how they were adored, rigtheously so.
I am so fortunate that some 60 + years ago my father introduced me to this music by the Hot Club of France ( Grapelli and Django Rheinhard). Django influenced every good guitar player from Les Paul and Chet Atkins ... and that influence goes on today. Merci to the French particularly and Europe for keeping this music alive while North America wallows in (c) RAP and Hip Hop. Bravo!
attended his soirée when he was in his 80s.. he had to be supported walking onto the stage.. once seated with violin in hand .. sheer artistry .. he was flying ... still the master of jazz violin ... musical magic in his fingers
i heared a piece of music on a radio..,that was a long time ago, never knew the name of the musician, now I know .that violin was singing and talking as well just like this one. true a hapiest violinist.
Absolutely Sublime! I had never heard of Grappelli until i saw this last night. It overwhelms the senses. The sound.Sickening, impossible to understand how sickening it is. I can't even understand it. You just feel dizzy and overwhelmed experiencing it. Absolutely Sublime. The only word for it.
So wonderful as he weaves his magic spell of music that lifts you to higher realm than you knew existed. Words were not enough so God created music and only he and a few others really play it. My soul is content.
@F0nkyNinja we keep him alive through our love of his music. My english tutor first gave me a django and stephane album and I consider it the first time i ver took music seriously, I was 12. Now I am 19 and studying music...I owe this man my life. Although I am a guitar player, Grappelli has a musical ability which transcends instrumentation, time, and space...well enough talk, lets listen
Such expression is required beyond all others, of most grace where mother America first truely found her place amongst her people. We need no gods, just a shared love for life that is only expressed best by music that is light, deep and sweet; with a sprinkle of salt in there like a fat bag of freshly popped kettle corn. (CONTINUED IN NEXT COMMENT BECAUSE OF LACK OF CHARACTERS ^_^)
i would love to hear a better recording of this (vinyl of cd.. if anyone knows of one), this is excellent! increadibly exciting! grappelli is a genius.. his earlier recordings with django give me the most overwhelming need to tap my foot and this is no different, his energy is incredible, THIS is what live music is all about!
that was mind blowing!!! just so freakin' amazing. My favourite version of this piece was the one played by joe pass but this is as good as joe pass version.
I'd say Grappelli had to be one truly 'happy' man. He lived 89 creative years and spread joy to untold number of music lovers all over the world.
That’s the goal ❤

He makes the violin speak so beautifully. I’ve loved his music for years because you can feel it.
Saw him at Lancaster university many years ago - diz dizley on guitar -great evening
HE WAS MAGICIAN PRETENDING TO BE A JAZZ FIDDLER.
IN FACT HE WAS BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
LEFT U EXTREMELY SHAKEN UP.
AFTER U LEFT WHEN HE WAS FINISHED ALL THE STREET LIGHTS SUDDENLY APPEARED
IT IS CALLED HYPNOTIZATION.
Which venue?
I was in San Francisco at that concert too in the 70’s…marvellous memory!
Grappelli was the undisputed master. It's never too late to discover him.
If you love jazz, you'll never grow old!
because u allready did before u started?
YES, I THINK SO. HAVE A GOOD LIFE, I WISH YOU.
Thank you, young lady!

Also true of heroin, but for different reasons.
His sound of his violin ... indescribable. It feels like revisiting your childhood home when you're an adult... just warm memories.
Stephan brought this tour to Australia and I was lucky enough to see it. Still the best concert I've ever seen. A pure unadulterated privilege.
He didn't even have to look at the violin, he just FELT it! I guess that comes with over 60 years of experience playing violin.

Stephane had it all, wonderful intonation, technique and real musical respect for everything he played.
He was rightly viewed as the Worlds best .
Magic Stéphane. Quelle classe. Merci Monsieur Grappelli pour tous ces moments de grâce. Admiration définitive.
I seen Stephen only ounce when he came to Belfast. The one element that makes him so special, is that he plays with real passion.
Awe! That twinkle in his eye! The look he gives the audience before the jazz starts is priceless
Stéphane Grappelli was an amazing jazz violinist, he will be remembered for his seemingly impeccable performances and incredible style.
Quel jeunesse !!! C'est bien plus que de la musique, c'est l'essence même de la vie.
As a child, and via the radio, How High The Moon was my first encounter with the great Stephane Grappelli....l never really got over it.
Tellement beau❤❤❤❤❤❤
If the world could know what we know about Stefan and his music there would be no need for war.His violin brings peace.
What a way to start the day! The last rift was sublime. Thank you Stephane, for sharing your gift with the world.
I saw Stephan when I was in my twenties, I'm now in the seventy arena. I loved him then and I still love listening to him. Have no fear, not everyone get to go to the moon.. Gigi!
Two words "pure genius"
I don't think you know how much of a fantastic violinist this guy is...
Genius a million times over...I saw him in Houston in 1979, playing at Rockefeller Club...nostalgia of the best kind. God bless America, the birthplace of jazz music!
And which took years, finally taking notice of how great the jazz musicians we had by seeing what they did in Europe, how they were adored, rigtheously so.
I love the way he smiles all the. time and appears to enjoy every single second of his performances.
很難想像小提琴也可以把爵士樂風格詮釋的這麼好，抒情處音色溫暖，後半段炫技處把我帶到天空快樂地翱翔不想下來，值得一聽再聽
Stephane Grappelli had something that very few musicians have - he got better as he got older.
Hans Eekhoff yes...its amazing
Hans Eekhoff oh really I thought he’d get worse thought more experience he got playing the violin
@Carlos Sanchez lmaoooo but true some people start to fall off if they start to go senile
@@GameLang like Heifetz for example!!!

Stephane is a man full of love and decency - and this is what imbues the audiience.
My God... Brilliant. Loved him from his LPs but never saw him live. Thank you for this performance!
I only seen Stephen only ounce, when he appeared in Belfast. A true master of his instrument. It was a wonderful experience.
OMG, he brought the house DOWN! Bravo! 👍👍👍
Simply fantastic. Superb improvisation.
Was very fortunate enough to see Stephane and hear his unbelievably gorgeous sound.up close and live
What a great artist and great sound he makes the instruement sing
attended his soirée when he was in his 80s.. he had to be supported walking onto the stage.. once seated with violin in hand .. sheer artistry .. he was flying ... still the master of jazz violin ... musical magic in his fingers
That cheeky expression just before he picks the pace up really brightened my morning up.
What a master.
I see there are 8 jealous people! Can someone please explain to me how it is possible to dislike this? This is GENIOUS!
Nobody could touch Stephane. Sensational.
Great thank you for this special and masterly music! Maya
His violin talks
Thanks for posting this lovely clip....how good is that piano player !!!!!
Real art never dies. In fact, it is the only thing that might survive.
Wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Quanta nostalgia quando vedo persone così che adesso non ci sono più... grande Stephane, grazie per quello che hai lasciato... ciao.
Seeing him live in Perth Australia was a highlight in my life. I am near meeting him again. At least I think so??? I hope. LOL.
Tyner hit those chords so well How High is a hell of a mood tune for playing those chords - harmony and dissonance all in one.
he looks old but his playing sounds like he's in his 20's. What a master.
i was named after that man.. An honor.. =)
Miałem cały ten koncert na video i pewnego dnia zona mi to skasowała, ech..
Yes. You must mention that the great McCoy Tyner is moving this arrangement.
Lots of Oscar Peterson in his playing here.
@@farshimelt anyone who came along in that era who wasn't influenced by Oscar Peterson was deaf. :)

Doesn't get any better. Thank you.
Simply good tune and well played. You are correct, sir.
How much i love this man!! trully!! adorable!! thankyou!!
One of a kind!! I had the pleasure of meeting the Maestro when he appeared on a TV show I worked on in the 1970's..
This does not sound like a ninety year old violinist.
Breathtaking. I was lucky to see him live in his youth (1979) hee hee ! Genius !
Absolutely incredible 👏 🖤🎼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏
Foyer du Marin 1969 grande soirée Stéphane Grappelli Didier Lockwood ! Je m’en rappelle .super
Mi padre lo amaba, tanto como a esta canción... Me emociona, lo extraño. Thanks for sharing this.
he died on 1 dec 1997 ... i was born that day ...
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
The most inspirational violinist for me I obtain all of his motifs in my plane it gets me far thank God for bringing us defin Grappelli
A legend of violin and jazz.
Forever!
greetings from Warsaw!
Julia T pozdro z Niemiec ładna dziewczyna ;)
I'll remember this man's music for the rest of my life, and i'm not even out of high school.
Fantastically Fabulous!
that was incredible!
Just a handful of grapelli's notes evoke a lost time and place. So amazing.
what a pleasure and honour it must have been to play with such a legend...
een groot muzikant een verlies voor de muziek met zijn overlijden,maar zijn muziek zal vele vele jaren worden beluisterd.
Wow! Love his interpretation of this song.
WOW...AWESOME..!!
These guys can COOK..!
Mccoy always thrills the room.!
Stephane -Another GREAT LEGEND
Thanks for posting this video..!!
What an absoutely brilliant performance! Bravo!

I remember him as the greatest muscian I've ever seen/known/will know. Stephane you were truly a master
Wonderful, bravo maestro!
Sublime Violino...Inigualavel.
I really would like to have a granpa like this man ....
I am proud that I have been at Grappelli's concert some time ago in Hartford , CT
It was great!
The guitarist is Marc Fossett. Grappelli loved him and Fossett was a member of Grappelli's Pariian Trio for a lot of years.

Just exquisite on every level
I first learned of him when i saw the movie 'King of the gypsies" in 1979. Fell in love.
what a sweet performance i loved every second
Saw him twice in Buffalo. Still remember it well.
At exactly 01:37, Django smiles in Heaven!
he makes it look so effortless!
My favourite fiddler, as the man said. Stephane makes my soul sing! Merci, Maestro!
Absolutely incredible.
WOW, He is AMAZING
Wow!!! :) That is by far the best jazz violin I've ever heard in my life!! So clear and clearly from the heart!!
He is like wine, the older the better.......GRANDE MAESTRO.....
Wow what he did towards the end was amazing.
He is magical and can speak through music
SERIOUSLY brilliant. Thank you for posting this. Grappelli was absolutely one of the best ever.
Every time I start to think I can play this song on my trumpet, I listen to Grappelli and start practicing again.
Oh by the way, that is the great McCoy Tynor on Piano, he worked and recorded with John Coltrane himself.
An authentic genius. At least we had him around for a couple of decades after Django's demise.
i would love to hear a better recording of this (vinyl of cd.. if anyone knows of one), this is excellent! increadibly exciting! grappelli is a genius.. his earlier recordings with django give me the most overwhelming need to tap my foot and this is no different, his energy is incredible, THIS is what live music is all about!
that was mind blowing!!! just so freakin' amazing. My favourite version of this piece was the one played by joe pass but this is as good as joe pass version.
