Stephane Grappelli fans


I have a box set called "The Original Jazz Master Series Vol. 2" which has a version of the famous swing song "It don't mean a thing if you aint got that swing" by Stephane Grappelli & Barney Kessel. Does anyone know what album this came from?

Also, what are your favorite Stephane Grappelli recordings.
Anyone paticuraly impressed with the SACD releases?

I just bought the CD "Hot Dawg" with Dave Grisman. Grappelli played a number of cuts on it, which I didn't know at the time. I put it on, and on cut 3 I suddenly thought, "Boy, whoever that is sure sounds like Stephane Grappelli!" And sure enough, it was.

One of my favourites is "Vintage 1981", a Concord release that's been reissued on CD. "Paper Moon" from that record is classic Grappelli.
