Stéphane Grappelli - Honeysuckle Rose - vers 1959 avec : Sacha Distel, guitare Raymond Le Sénéchal, piano Paul Piguillem, guitare Marcel Dutrieux, basse Roger Paraboschi, batterie
I had the great good fortune of seeing Stephanie Grappelli live twice. He was in his eighties. When the band took a break he played piano through the break. He was as good or better as an elder than when he was young.
I saw Stephane Grappelli at the Sydney Town Hall in about the early 1980's, it may have been the same performance, as I remember him playing the piano while the other musicians had a break. Unforgettable time!
Plain and simply absolutely brilliant! I never knew that Sacha was a genius on the guitar. Stephane Grappelli never showed a sign of age creeping into his musicianship.
Tu maitrises tellement l’instrument que tu en réalise des phrases creuses,écoutes beaucoup cet instrument et tu va vite voir que le sieur était d’un banalité sans nom ,il jouait aussi bien de la guitare qu’il conduisait les porches……je parle des voitures,tellement bien qu’il a estropiée une femme a vie.
He could play very competently. Now, if you call him a "genius", how will you call Django Reinhardt, Wes Montgomery, Jimmy Raney, and a few others who outplayed him hands down?
@@everts1698oui un immense guignol ( toujours a faire le beau,une de ces phrases[ je suis le meilleur guitariste de jazz du monde] rien que ça !!!!!!!) il était tellement cultivé qu’il n’a jamais eu l’idée d’écouter de vrais jazzmans …..le bougre,une pipe qui au volant d’une porche a rendu une femme infirme à vie dans un accident de la route !!!!!!!!!
I saw Grappelli at the Chastain Park Amphitheater in Atlanta when I was 20. Django's son Babik was the guitar player. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever heard. I had read an interview with Duane Allman and he had praised Django and his talents. "Minor Swing" in particular. I got some of the records and of course I heard Grappelli too. It really pays off to listen to your heroes when they talk about their heroes. You can't buy that kind of an education.
Django was dead by that time. Stephane said in an interview, years later..if i had a friend in my life, it was him........two greats....Stephane was such a gentleman.....a true gem....
I have always been more interested in Sacha Distel's guitar playing than his radio-friendly career even though he was everywhere when I was a kid growing up in France back then... He was an amazing jazz guitar player and seeing him play that Gibson ES-175 is pure joy 🙂🙂 His chords are right on point and his solo flawless... And I don't even play jazz, I'm more of a metal player myself...
Wonderful, thanks for sharing! I had the unique pleasure of meeting Stephane Grappelli in New Orleans in 1983. It was during the World's Fair; he and his group were playing at a local hotel. After the show I went up and introduced myself as a big fan of he and Django, and he taught me how to say Django's name!! It's ZHAN-go, not the way we Americans pronounce it. He went on to say it's pronounced that way because "He was a Gypsy, you see". Got it!!
Worst thing I heard on radio was an announcer who did not have a clue, who played a Hot Club of France record, by Danjo Reinhardt and Steffanie Grapparlee, CRINGE.
I remember Grapelli was a regular on variety shows in the 70s. As a teenager he stood out as an old man playing great music and always with a smile on his face. Sacha Distel was always on too, and we never saw him playing guitar.
Wow! Sacha Distel ! J'ai eu la chance de voir Grappelli en concert. Avec Didier Lockwood( du groupe Magma) au FEQ en 84. Renaud aussi était là. Ainsi qu'Astor Piazzolla. Un bon cru.
STEPHANE, WOULD PLAY AT OUR GOLDEN BEAR CAFE, ONCE A YEAR. HIS SHOWS WERE ALMOST ALWAYS SOLD OUT, HE HAD A BIG FOLLOWING, IN THE HUNTINGTON BEACH, ORANE COUNTY, LA COUNTY AREAS.
I remember to have seen STÉPHANE....GRAPPELLI...approximatif...20 years ago..at .. LES ULIS ..en FRANCE... It was mervelous ..extraordinaire.....He had a smille to me .....when.. I was in the AT front PUBLIC during all the spectacle...
Very cool I saw Mr Grappeli in the mid '70s at Paul Masson's winery here in California with George Shearing. They hadn't played together since the war! Stephan was a very sweet man with an equally sweet smile. We echanged a few niceties and shook the hand of a legend
C'est vrai que les français jouaient de tout à cette époque. Les frères Raisner à l'harmonica, Georges Jouvin trompette, Distel et Salvador accompagnement à la guitare dans de grands orchestres, les accordéons, etc...
La classe ! Le swing ! Tout le monde est top ! Je ne connais pas tout le monde, mais je savais qu'avec Roger Paraboschi, le batteur du pianiste André Persiani, ça ne pouvait que swinguer !
En france Sacha Distel est connu pour sa carrière de chanteur et également de guitariste de jazz. Il était très respecté à la fois par le grand public par les musiciens et les amateurs de jazz!
Sacha Distel éduqué musicalement chez son oncle Ray Ventura était un guitariste de très grand talent. Gibson en main, il offre ici un solo jazz typique.
Quel olaisr d'entendre 3:23 Sacha , Distel . Quel dpmmage qu'il soit devenu chanteur de charme ! Le jazz français a oerdu un grand guitariste. Peu connaissent cette face de son talent. A quand une anthologie de ses talents de musicien de jazz. ?
I saw him in Glasgow 1973 with Diz Disley This colourful shited figure approaching in a side street nr the BBC and got his autograph. Liverpool 1982 with Geo Sheering at the Empie and Leek [N Staffs UK] with an electric piano 1981.
I didn't recognise Sasha Distell I didn't even know he was a musician and could play guitar.. I'm a rock and metal fan myself but I appreciate allkinds of music if it's played well and these guys are excellent musicians.. I enjoyed it
Ambiente musical... .. extraordinario.../!!! ............de la Estética y , de Ética.. Y de una época, romántica .... ..(..de " Ilusión..y de Esperanza...
I am a. classically trained, wannabe jazz fiddler. Listening to M. Grapelli is a treat indeed. BTW, I have Yehudi Minuin's autograph, though I never got to hear him play jazz. Great fiddler! Y' know the difference between a violin and a fiddle? A violin sings; a fiddle dances.
