	Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli : Swing From Paris ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Partner Stephane Grappelli was no doubt frustrated by Reinhardt's fiery demeanor and his nearly confrontational rhythmic support.
		Grappelli swings brightly and gracefully on violin while Reinhardt plays aggressively and often frenetically.
		Grappelli's solo builds on the intensity established by Reinhardt while Reinhardt churns furiously behind him.

		Grappelli's elegant and sophisticated playing was a complete contrast to Grisman's totally extravagant and free pikin style.
		Grappelli was incomparable in his Hot Club of France days, and he hadn't lost a beat by the time of this recording almost 50 years later.
		It's not an exaggeration to say that Grappelli and Grisman are two of the very best and most innovative musicians (especially on acoustic string instruments) of the 20th century, and it's a real treat to get to hear them play together on this recording.

	Didier Lockwood \| Tribute To Stephane Grappelli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The famed French violinist Michel Waldrop initially presented the violin to Grappelli in recognition of him as a major new jazz violin talent, a sort of passing of the torch ritual.
		Grappelli later handed the cherished violin off to Jean-Luc Ponty, and then, in 1979, Grappelli and Ponty decided that Lockwood was worthy to be next in line.
		This recording is an appropriately joyful tribute to Stephane Grappelli that catches the spirit and tone of one of the original great jazz violinists.

		Grappelli lived and shaped the Jazz century; hence, the need to seriously consider his career, as Music on Earth does in this particularly satisfying documentary.
		Thus one is drawn in and out of past, present and future —intermeshed with the then still living violinist— in an extensive collage of eras encompassing his birth at the outset of the past century and his relentless dedication —and good fortune— as he overcame and triumphed over great odds.
		Grappelli could’ve been further documented into areas such as Western Swing, where groups such as the Hot Club of Cowtown are indebted to him in good measure.

	Stephane Grappelli, Live - PopMatters Music Review
		Perhaps the greatest jazz violinist ever, Stephane Grappelli got his start in 1920s Paris, playing in movie theaters and in dance bands.
		Grappelli and Reinhardt's swing differed from the dominant horn-driven sound of the Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, and Duke Ellington bands, in that it was of a subtler, string-based (violin, 3 guitars, and a bass) variety.
		Going strong into his 80s, Live captures Grappelli still at the height of his powers in a 1994 performance that includes many of his career favorites, such as the classic Reinhardt songs "Daphne" and "Nuages," as well as a veritable "greatest hits" of 20th century songwriting.

		Django est allé voir Grappelli pour son anniversaire à Londres, ils ont improvisé autour de l'hymne Marseillaise - et tous recommence.
		They are bringing us back to the old pre-war time, when Stephane, aged 11, started his career (1920) as a street-musician (together whith an italian-born guitarist) strolling around in his Montmartre-quartier (self-taught, never using notes, only trusting his ears and his talent of staying relaxed and spontaneous).
		While Django established in the states, Grappelli went back to England, because melody-prefering violines had no chance in the jazz-scene in those 50/60-decade in the USA.

		This CD features a logical combination of two talented Frenchmen, violinist Stephane Grappelli and pianist Michel Petrucciani, who had never recorded together before.
		Despite his age, Stephane's violin playing sounds as youthful and enthusiastic as it had been in the 1930s; the 60 years of practice had not hurt.
		While Petrucciani's music is usually in the Bill Evans post-bop vein, he was happy to visit Grappelli's turf on this occasion, mostly playing veteran standards.
