For Jazz Fans - Jazz Violin!

[Galahad]

Have been listening recently to some incredible Jazz. I'm embarrassed that I've only now "discovered" it, but it's wonderful. If you like Jazz and want to hear something a bit different (but still Jazz) check out Antoine Silverman, Plays Jazz Violin (along the lines of Stephane Grappelli) on a regular violin rather than an electric violin. VERY fun stuff!

I'll be sure to check this out. Stephane Grappeli (and Django Reinhardt) is an all-time favorite of mine. I got to see him perform in our town on his last US tour before he died. He was in his late 80s, and still put on a fabulous show.

Woody Allen directed a movie with Sean Penn called "Sweet and Lowdown" which tells a fictional story of a jazz guitarist who thinks himself better than Django.

Absolutely wonderful soundtrack that features Howard Alden. Well worth a look and listen!
