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?
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!
@@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 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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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....
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 !
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
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...
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...
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!
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.
Très bon guitariste sans aucun doute mais il lui a manqué (peut-être par choix de carrière divergente ?) ce qui fait un grand guitariste qu'on reconnaît à la première mesure. Un merveilleux artiste malgré tout, à ne pas oublier. Quelle belle époque où les musiciens de jazz n'avaient pas oublié Fats Waller
Quel dommage que Sacha Distel se soit perdu pour le jazz en favorisant une carrière plus people et lucrative, mais sans intérêt musical… Quant à Stéphane Grappelli, c’est un géant que j’ai vu en concert il y a fort longtemps en Bretagne et qui excellait aussi au piano !
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
The violinist Mathias Levy sometimes plays on one of Grappelli's violins. In fact, it's the violin which belonged to Michel Warlop, a violin which Michel gave to Grappelli in the 20s or 30s... It is surely this violin, made by Pierre Hel, that he used in this video. But Stéphane had many other violins...
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.
I had a swing band in the 70s Upright bass, guitar, violin, tenor sax. I too grew up to DR & SG. When I gave birth to my son I named him Reinhardt as his middle name. He went to a lo-ot of gigs hahaha
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.

I grew up on Stephané Grappelli . Love him. I’m 72 and still play his tunes.
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sacha Distel, n’était pas qu’un beau gosse, mais un vrai musicien 👍👌🤞
Real musicians...Its 2024 and this was in 1959.And it only gets better.Jam on boys.

@@MrLenoir99 super- geniuses!Django is my favorite guitarist.
Yeah the whole package
Beau dialogue entre le violon de Stéphane Grapelli et la guitare de Sacha Distel, un régal de les écouter...
Dom
What the world needs is more musicians that smile with the joy of living.This recording is a musical treasure.Merci Stephanie etc Sacha.
@@paulstarr6316
That s the reason Ray Charles hated the rap music
I saw Stephane Grappelli in Montréal. One of the best music show that I ever saw.
If this doesn't make you smile nothing will.Pure class.I did hear that Sacha Distel played guitar but this was a revelation.
I grew up listening to old recordings of Stephané Grappelli and Django Rhinehart. Magical.
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'd agree with that. His playing here is a good deal better than it was when he was playing with The Hot Club De France.
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!

Sacha Distel très grand guitariste, et peu sont ceux qui connaissent son talent et ses racines musicales
À part les pommes.les poires,et les scoubidous,beaucoup,en effet,ne connaissaient pas son talent.

Bisou dear MarieC 😊
I’m an old woman in Australia in love with jazz too 🩷🩷🩷
Some of the best playing and music we'll ever hear, mon dieu !!
Didn't know Sacha Distel could play guitar; i am blown away
Yes, he was a good guitarist just as Henri Salvador, but unfortunately both had to sing songs with silly lyrics to have a good career.
Sasha fine guitar player fer sure. Sasha nice boy!
He was a guitarist first. His singing stated in mid 1960ies. He was also the boy friend of Brigitte Bardot for a while.
He was an excellent jazz guitarist
Superbe démonstration du génie musical de ces 2 artistes with tout mon respect et mon amour RIP tous les deux😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

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 saw him play live years ago in NYC at a venue named "THE BOTTOM LINE". He was absolutely fantastic
That's REAL music, and we need more like that and less noise.
Dream on
Sacha Distel un super guitariste de jazz méconnu
C'est exact mais la chanson de variété lui rapportait beaucoup plus...
😊❤❤❤ Sacha genialny
Neveu de Ray Ventura. Mais la variété a en effet pris le pas sur le jazz chez lui.
So great. Thank you for posting this!
La joie de jouer ! ah que la bonne musique est salutaire !
It seems they really speaks poet over music hears. Beautiful language
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 !
Sans oublier Roland Lobligeois ( si j ai bonne mémoire ?) Souvenirs du Furstenberg ...
Et Sacha Distel à la guitare....des scoubidoubidou ....

@@thomasfisher5742 thank you for tour appreciation.I followGrappelly since late fifties and do consider him a great and unique jazzman
Sacha Distel à la guitare
I've never heard someone make the violin sound like a super soprano saxophone, amazingly smooth, no harshness!
Saw Grappelli twice. What a joy.
Fantastic...🙌🙏👍😊🎼

Oui je suis d'accord
Le disque enregistré avec John Lewis (du MJQ) est un petit bijou et démontre son talent et sa maîtrise qui aurait pu encore aller plus loin
Guitariste!!!!!!!!??? C’est un violoniste St. Grapelli!
Si vous relisez attentivement vous verrez que je parle de Sacha Distel
splendid.
Oh, that is so Grappelli!
Superb! Thank you!
😍 merveilleusement bon
Excellent, I didn't know that 'Slasher' Distel was a musician, He certainly held his end up with Mr Grappelli.
Merciii du partage. Magnifique et émouvant pour moi par ce que cette musique m évoque !

Woah! Sacha Distel. I had no idea. No Django and not gypsy jazz style but he certainly holds his own very impressively.
J'ai toujours adoré Stephane Grapelli. Sacha Distel est un plus très pro.
Carrière, quand tu nous tiens...
Educazione e rispetto, disciplina, studio e libertà
Watched him live at St David’s Hall, Cardiff.
Thanks Ronan, Stephane Grappelli could sure play violin!

Jazz was more fun back then.
Moc hezké, ale Djangovi se nikdo nikdy nevyrovná. R.I.P. 🙏❤️🙏
So, anything that Grappelli may have performed with others NOT Django can be summarily disregarded.
GREAT
