Grappelli was like wine the older he got the better he sounded. Incredible he an Django definitely had fun jamming. RIP both if this geniuses on their instrument..
UNBELIEVABLE… I never heard Bream play Jazz - he even bent a note. I've always been blown away by his playing but I now have even more respect for his great playing ! Bravo Grapelli & Bream !

@@pauldepter6031 You are right - he began accompanying his father on jazz gigs when he was a boy. He called his dog, a Labrador, Django .... which is a bit of a giveaway :-)
How brilliant is this that we can hold a candle to today 14/08/20 and listen to this concert on Utube - on the day dear Julian Bream died .. and honour his death by listening to him play with SG - who in turn is honouring SG's friend and mentor Django ...
Two of my and music's most inspirational artists, celebrating the man, Django Reinhardt, who inspired us all. Julian Bream was a one of a kind. He began his guitar studies on a diet of Django's music as a child. This is a magnificent treat to hear them together, joined by Django's musical soul. We miss them all. Thank you for your art and inspiration. I'm certain, they're still doing it in heaven.
I am reading Julian's autobiography at the moment , Life on the road. I came here because Julian was mentioning how cross he was because he was supposed to play 7 mins of tunes ( Bach Prelude and Asturias) but Stephane ignored that and threw Julian into the den of lions so to speak with this and another tune with a larger band. Julian also mentioned he was very unhappy with the end because Stephane just went off on one! I think it was astonishing but Julian was not a happy bunny!!! I am sure all is forgiven though because 19 years later when Julian was on " This is your life" Stephane recorded a wonderful tribute to Julian which was played on the show. Julian was thrilled to bits. Later that year Stephane died so I don't know if they ever met up again.....
I wondered about that cadenza -- Bream seems to jump in just before Stephane was about to come to some type of ending. It's great that this is preserved. RIP Julian Bream, also you, Stephane.

A quote Taken from Julian Breams Book "A life on the road" "The Albert Hall was packed, and the TV lights were phenomenal, but I got trough Nuages pretty well. Until the end, that is, where we had agreed that he plays a cadenza for twenty seconds or so, and then I had to come in for the last beat. So there I was, poised, watching, and he just went on and on and on. I thought, well, Jesus it was like a concierto he was playing.- the Bach Fiddle Chaconne, or something. There were double stops, treble stops chromatic and diminishes arpeggios all over the instrument. He was frozing about in all sorts of outlandish keys. At one point I didn´t think he was ever going to make it back to G Major. By this point the cadenza had been running I swear, for every second of three minutes. This was the biggest self-applied ego massage I´ve ever witnessed in public, and when the rapsodic neurosis finally came to a grinding halt I was emberassed out of my mind.. I just hit a loud chord of G Major and collapsed in a heap"
Both Stephan & Julian were great , artistically & acoustically. Is’nt it great when musicians, the like’s of which are not drowned out by an orchestra!
Bream one of the few modern classical arts performers that can and will improv. It's sad, I had heard Jack Bruce of Cream say the reason for it a few yrs. ago, it's the piss poor way that the universities are teaching music. all people should improvise, they all used to do it whenever they played! I still can't do it well at all after 2 yrs. in school and 20 some yrs of playing, and it pisses me off! lol
my late uncle brought back ,from ww2 a album of the hot club of france...I have loved them ever since...GOD rest you Django and Stephan and he other members of that group...Never to be forgotton
OMG!!!!!! Wow my favorite living guitarist and the late Stephan Grapelli. I love the way Bream does some of the open voicings using open strings with harmonics and putting the high note on the lower string. I started in Flamenco and then played both Classical and Flamenco till I went to study Jazz with the late great great Jimmy Wyble. He was to guitarists what Gandalf is to wizards. So I really appreciate the use of Classical guitar and Jazz guitar blending. Remember Bream played Jazz before he played Classical guitar. I did it the other way around. .
I remember Julian bream and John Williams were guys that turned me off to classical guitar, the style. They were always so stuffy, elite. I hated it. Classical guitar and flamenco were instruments and tunes of the common man. I did not like Bream and Williams bringing classical to a snob appeal. Plus, they’re playing was too sedate, refined. In SF i often had season tickets to Intimate venues with classical guitar series with young guitarists and established. For me, they completely broke down this Williams and Bream outline.
@@richardbenitez7803 When I studied classical guitar I was told not to emulate Julian Bream because his playing was anything but classical in style... There you go: tastes change!
Beautifully Elegant ! Stefan fabulous as always. Julian did himself proud. This is the 1st time I have heard him play in jazz style, and it was so good !
I was lucky enough and honoured to meet Stephane Grapelli backstage at a concert, as well as being an utterly fabulous musician he was a beautiful, gentle man - my eldest son, now 43, is named after him.
Grappelli only got better as he got older! Hard to believe but true! I know. I have listened to him for decades and had the honor of seeing him perform live in Chicago at the Park West nightclub.
I saw Julian Bream when he played at my University, Stony Brook. I got to hear Stephane Grappelli at the University of Michigan. I feel very lucky. Here they are together. Major talents.
This is an all time classic performance by two musical masters. I feel like I have stumbled into a vault of precious priceless jewels of great worth! ☆☆☆☆☆
Virgil R , That's a triple tautology - "precious", "priceless" and "of great worth mean" the same thing. It's like saying "the big, large, huge elephant"!
Thankyou, magnificent. A treat. I saw and heard Stephane Grappeli with Jean Luc Ponty in Seattle 1980 or '81. Partly on 'shrooms we'd gathered. I'm so glad I got to hear Stephane, then a vigorous 80- something.
Carl, I got to see Stephane play twice around that same time; the second time I brought my dad along to the show. My father and I didn't agree on much at all musically or otherwise but we both agreed Stefan was a genius!
If these notes were food, the world would never know want. Masters? Oh yes, oh yes and more. These two must have been somewhere, a single soul, to so blend their muse. I mean no criticism or shame to any other artiste when I insist with all my heart, they are ...the empyrean.
I didn't know that they even knew each other, let alone that they had played together... What a find. Grappelli is the ne plus ultra of jazz fiddle players. Although I've been familiar with Bream for several decades, it's only my fairly recent discoveries of him jamming with Ali Akbar Khan in the early '60's, playing John Dowland lute songs (on the lute), and this performance, that makes me think that he may be the most "soulful" classical guitarist of all time. Addendum: Watch Grappelli's face during Bream's solo, and Bream's during Grapelli's cadenza: There is serious mutual admiration going on here.
+tuxguys You should read Bream's autobiography "A Life on the Road" He talks about this collaboration. You'd be surprised by how much he DIDN'T enjoy it.
Nice. There's a video somewhere of the Julian Bream Consort, c.1962, backstage and Bream plays a Django number on the gypsy-jazz model guitar (don't know its name off hand) with some style. I think Bream was actually an electric guitarist entertaining British troops during WW2 before he focused on being a classical player. He's retired now and from the "my life in music" dvd it appears he lives alone on an estate with his dog called Django. One other thought: to these ears, Grappelli always sounded best with acoustic guitar rather than with a regular jazz band with bass/drums or even electric jazz guitar (e.g. Martin Taylor). If he didn't stay in London when WW2 broke out, the original quintet w/Django might have continued or perhaps its run was over.
Estos dos grandes maestros se juntaron fue lo más grande Digango y el violinista Piscitelli fueron a Estados Unidos tocaron con los más grandes. de la época ,1.945 y 1.950 gracias por la gran música que dejaron merci vocu .
Some cadences and Arps sound a tad like Paul's "Michelle". What a great tune this too would be, for these 2 gentlemen... If there IS a Heaven, they will playing just inside the pearly gates as we enter...
My late dad was an excellent guitarist & met the famous Segovia , have a foto of a palm tree signed by Segovia , on the back :- good but needs to practise more . Dad taught me how to play a wooden ukulele , easier for a lefthander , have in my house in Spain a genuine Russian Balalaika , bought from a scrapman € 20 .

Julian Bream....My favorite classical guitarist....!
grapelli is the greatest violin master of all time!
was the greatest but now only dust
For that sound.
I hope not.......means there's better to come. And how good will that be?
You need to expand your listening. If you keep it to that genre, then you're correct, although Stuff Smith and Eddie South come close.

Haha. You can see that in his bemused look at the end of the video. It did seem a rather abrupt, unplanned end to an astonishing piece of music.
A ver beautiful version of Nuage.. Lovely sensitive balance . By these two greats.
It's a blessing to watch these two guys performing this song. Very high level.
Both Stephan & Julian were great , artistically & acoustically. Is’nt it great when musicians, the like’s of which are not drowned out by an orchestra!
This performance ha s an unbelievable quality
I think Julian has a great jazz feel, not always evident when classical players play jazz.
Julian Bream started with Jazz.
Bream one of the few modern classical arts performers that can and will improv. It's sad, I had heard Jack Bruce of Cream say the reason for it a few yrs. ago, it's the piss poor way that the universities are teaching music. all people should improvise, they all used to do it whenever they played! I still can't do it well at all after 2 yrs. in school and 20 some yrs of playing, and it pisses me off! lol
The Grigoryan brothers are brilliant improvise ‘s , but they learnt at home with their dad. They can do both. Julian’s part in this was very tasty.
@@ianstukenborg437 learn a melody and play variations on it, keep at it and you'll succeed. Don't worry about the chords, just play with the melody.
yeah! imagine playing with the man you used to listen on records during your childhood!
Stephane always makes me smile :)
The greatest guitarist of the century with the greatest violinist of the century. Thanks for the upload.
I think you didn t get it is a django s composition that he is playing, django is the greatest guitarist of the century....
Who's best? Bah! What doe's it matter these two acknowledged genius' do marvelously.
As if there were such a person.
@@AndreLopesMrDRJazz Bream was the greatest fingerstyle guitarist of the century bar none....Django used a pick
Lucky to see Stephane Grappelli do a one man show
Surprise he played excellent piano as well as his violin
2hr concert absolutely wonderful
The sheer brilliance of this performance is beyond words.
the greats smile of Maestro Bream and listening Grappelli sound

Love Stephane's playing and tone.
Absolutely exquisite. Stephane is clearly the best thing ever imported from France ( and that includes champagne and brie)..
Even Mont D’or...?
Even letters 🤣
One of my favourite Grappelli moments.
Incredible Julian!!!
One master to another! Amazing to see your comment here Mr Ghiglia - your records were the first CG playing I ever heard!
Ну... мужики вы блин даёте! За искусство!
Such soulful music has no right coming from a man with a belt that high.
i think tomorrow is going to be a django type of day even if i'm not wearing the t-shirt

Excellent, I once had the good fortune to see Grappelli live in the 80s
Grappelli and Bream ... on Django Reinhardt's ..... oh,my Lord, Thanks for sharing, this duet is very rare...
Two fabulous masters of their craft together...GREAT!
Have in Spain the 12" L.P of Django that my dad gave me & he was a good guitarist , tears in my eyes remembering with sit upon my knee sonny boy !
He played guitar with Flamenco dancers .
To witness the shared love of music between these two extraordinary and diversely styled musicians is truly dreamlike.
Un des plus grands moments du jazz des années 40. Exceptionnel!
