A tribute to the warm swing of these two masters.
This acoustic album, a collaboration between jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli and guitarist Barney Kessel, was produced as a tribute to their former collaborator, Django Reinhardt.
Light swing and rich melodies permeate the album, conveying an atmosphere of warm musical exchange. Django classics like "Nuages" and "Minor Swing" are tenderly reinterpreted, while Grappelli's violin dances freely. Kessel's guitar is solid yet warm, and the two musicians work in perfect harmony. The nostalgic mood is punctuated by the ingenuity of improvisation, highlighting the charm of conversational playing, the origins of jazz. A gentle and deeply affectionate tribute from these two accomplished musicians.
