Description
The music on this CD (16 tunes, 78 minutes) is from a previously unreleased live concert in England in 1975. Stephane Grappelli is best know for his collaboration in the 1930s and '40s with the famous gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. Diz Disley plays guitar in the tradition of Django but has his own style, and the fact that the band on this CD consists exclusively of string instruments makes it reminiscent of Django's famous Hot Club Quintette, of which Grappelli was a prominent member. In his seventies at the time of this recording, Grappelli is as musically inspired as ever, his playing fiery and clear and full of virtuoso improvisation. This CD is testimony to Grappelli's basic principals: "Improvisation is another form of composition. It's fresh. Also, one must try to think young in this life."
