Have you heard this?

a great example of Grappelli in his sort of “middle point”.

I love Grappelli raw energy when he was playing with Django, however his proficiency seemed to ramp up as he got older. His much later recordings whilst are magic In not always a huge fan of, I felt he seemed to overplay often. (I’m not saying so don’t have this issue myself sometimes!)

This point in his playing I felt he seemed the perfect balance of the two. He seemed to effortlessly play amazing Melodie’s that darted around the chords in a musical way and his technique was really on point!

What do you think?
