Vol. 2 Swing From Paris - Original 1935 - 1943 Recordings
This Naxos compilation gathers original 1935-1943 recordings of Stéphane Grappelli, legendary jazz violinist, alongside Django Reinhardt and George Shearing. These historically significant recordings capture the vibrant Paris jazz scene during that era. Grappelli's virtuosic yet swinging violin work converses with guitar and piano. The music crackles with energy and joy—hot jazz played by masters who understood blues feeling and swing rhythm. The recordings show their age sonically, but the music transcends primitive fidelity. Essential for jazz historians and those curious about European jazz.
