Review by Rick Anderson
By the time the 71-year-old Stephane Grappelli made this live trio recording with guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, his legacy as the greatest of all jazz violinists was firmly in place. Granted, that made him first in a fairly short line of colleagues -- other than Joe Venuti and Stuff Smith, who else was there to consider? (Jean-Luc Ponty doesn't count.) But it's hard to imagine another player, regardless of virtuosity, ever conveying the same sense of swing and simple joie de vivre that Grappelli does with virtually every note. Nor does it hurt that his accompanists on this album are among the finest in their fields; Orsted Pedersen plays with a solidity and rhythmic power that are enough to make you forget the absence of a drummer, while Pass slides effortlessly between unobtrusive chordal backup and bravura soloing. The program itself is practically a Grapelli greatest-hits collection -- "It's Only a Paper Moon," "Crazy Rhythm," "How Deep Is the Ocean," etc. -- which makes this disc a perfect introduction to his art for anyone looking for a good place to begin. Highly recommended.

Reseña de Rick Anderson
Cuando Stephane Grappelli, de 71 años, grabó este trío en directo con el guitarrista Joe Pass y el bajista Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, su legado como el más grande de todos los violinistas de jazz estaba firmemente establecido. Es cierto que era el primero de una lista bastante corta de colegas: aparte de Joe Venuti y Stuff Smith, ¿a quién más había que tener en cuenta? (Jean-Luc Ponty no cuenta.) Pero es difícil imaginar a otro intérprete, independientemente de su virtuosismo, que transmita la misma sensación de swing y simple alegría de vivir que Grappelli con prácticamente cada nota. Orsted Pedersen toca con una solidez y una fuerza rítmica que hacen olvidar la ausencia de batería, mientras que Pass se desliza sin esfuerzo entre el discreto acompañamiento de acordes y los solos de bravura. El programa en sí es prácticamente una colección de grandes éxitos de Grapelli: "It's Only a Paper Moon", "Crazy Rhythm", "How Deep Is the Ocean", etc., lo que convierte a este disco en una introducción perfecta a la música de Grapelli. -- Lo que hace de este disco una perfecta introducción a su arte para cualquiera que busque un buen punto de partida. Muy recomendable.
