Stéphane Grappelli • Meets Barney Kessel



Review by Scott Yanow
This excellent set features a logical combination. Violinist Stephane Grappelli originally came to fame through his recordings with guitarist Django Reinhardt. Barney Kessel, although more influenced by Charlie Christian than by Django, was one of the top jazz guitarists of the 1950s and '60s and his style was quite complementary to Grappelli's. The two teamed up for several albums' worth of material in 1969. This CD reissues the former LP I Remember Django, adding four additional selections and serving as a perfect introduction to the brilliant playing of Stephane Grappelli.

Opinión de Scott Yanow
Este excelente conjunto presenta una combinación lógica. El violinista Stéphane Grappelli alcanzó la fama originalmente a través de sus grabaciones con el guitarrista Django Reinhardt. Barney Kessel, aunque más influenciado por Charlie Christian que por Django, fue uno de los mejores guitarristas de jazz de los años 50 y 60 y su estilo era bastante complementario al de Grappelli. Ambos se asociaron para grabar varios álbumes en 1969. Este CD reedita el antiguo LP I Remember Django, añadiendo cuatro selecciones adicionales y sirviendo como una perfecta introducción a la brillante interpretación de Stephane Grappelli.
