Stephane Grappelli - Live In San Francisco - Stéphane Grappelli - Castle Hendring - Music - Pal VHS

THE WORD IS "HOT". IN 1934 THE REVOLUTIONARY QUINTET OF THE HOT CLUB OF FRANCE - FEATURING GUITARIST DJANGO REINHARDT AND VIOLINIST STEPHANE GRAPPELLI - REINVENTED THE FUNKY MUSIC THAT AFRO-AMERICAN BRASS BAND MUSICIANS LIKE LOUIS ARMSTRONG HAD CREATED YEARS EARLIER IN NEW ORLEANS. DJANGO PASSED ON IN 1953 BUT GRAPPELLI IS STILL PLAYING, STILL SWINGING, STILL AS DELIGHTFUL AS EVER. THIS FILM CAPTURES GRAPPELLI IN GREAT FORM ON CLASSIC HOT CLUMB TUNES LIKE 'SWING '42,' 'MINOR SWING,' AND 'HONEYSUCKLE ROSE.' BEST OF ALL, IT EMULATES DEMME'S STOP MAKING SENSE IN STAYING OUT OF THE WAY OF THE MUSIC. TOTALLY HOT. MICHAEL GOODWIN
