Tribute to Stephane Grappelli:
Didier to StéphaneUne des façons de contribuer à garder vivant le souvenir de Stéphane Grappelli dans la mémoire collective était peut-être de lui rendre hommage, lui témoignant ainsi mon affection et toute mon admiration, en m'entourant de merveilleux musiciens dans une formule qu'il aimait, et en jouant ce répertoire qu'il servait si sublimement bien!Francis Dreyfus m'a encouragé dans ce pari d'autant plus délicat que Stéphane reste absolument inimitable. Biréli Lagrène et NHOP, dont chacun connaît l'immennse talent, m'ont permis d'interpréter de grands standards avec un réel bonheur que nous espérons tous trois vous faire partager. Tribute to Stéphane Grappelli "**** (Four Stars) Spectacular! Brilliantly fine-tuned jazz performed in chamber-music style by an ensemble of consumate artists. The program includes tunes often performed by Grappelli ("I Got Rhythm," "In a Sentimental Mood," etc.) as well as a pair of Reinhardt classics ("Nuages" and "Minor Swing"), and there's not a single misstep anywhere. An album to savor." -- LA Times by Don Heckman (7/9/00)
Reviews:"In a word, magnifique!"-- JazzTimes by Bill Milkowski "Lockwood has taken the tribute a step further by personalizing the tribute.

Times by Don Heckman
