Personnel: St�phane Grappelli (violin); McCoy Tyner (piano). Recording information: BMG Studio "B", New York, NY (04/18/1990). Unknown Contributor Role: Eric Miller . Violinist Stephane Grappelli, although a veteran of the swing era, has always kept an open mind toward newer styles even while he has retained his own sound and veteran repertoire. This duet set with pianist McCoy Tyner might seem unlikely at first glance but it works quite well. The duo sticks to standards (including two that are associated with John Coltrane) and find plenty of common ground. The mutual respect they have for each other is obvious and they both sound a bit inspired. ~ Scott Yanow

Possessed of a particularly limber and graceful style, Parisian Stephane Grappelli is one of the greatest violinists in all of jazz. Though he will always be linked with Django Reinhardt via their magical work together in pre-WWII France, Stephane lived a very long and fruitful creative life after their association ended, performing and recording regularly with a wide variety of musicians right up until his passing at 89 in 1997.
