I hope you're also spending some time with the man who invented jazz
violin, Stephane Grappelli (Django's cohort.)

Blue Moon. Nobody else makes it sound like this

(That bass player just about has it figured out.)

By the time of this 1963 clip, Grappelli had been recording for 30 years

The earliest stuff of his I've got, from the early 30s, still amazes me.

When he played Humphrey's by the Bay in San Diego 10 years ago, I didn't
go. He died two months later.
