Stephane Grappelli: An Appreciation by John Medd
Big thanks to UK reader (and writer) John Medd for contributing this nice appreciation for Stephane Grappelli - co-founder of The Hot Club of France, and tops in that ever under appreciated subgenre of jazz: jazz violin. Take it away, John:
 |
| Source |
By the late 1960s/early 1970s the artist formerly known as Stephane Grappelly (he changed the spelling mid career as he was tired of people pronouncing it ‘Grappell – eye’) was playing to ever diminishing audiences. His best years, seemingly, were behind him. Grappelli’s friend Django Reinhardt, the gypsy jazz guitarist who he'd formed the iconic Quintet of The Hot Club of France, had died in 1953 leaving Grappelli to make a succession of lacklustre albums, often with disinterested musicians.
But in 1973 a very strange thing happened. Grappelli was asked to play the Cambridge Folk Festival in the UK. At first he was reticent thinking he was too old - he was 65 - and that nobody would turn out to hear a pensioner playing jazz. He was wrong on both counts. Very wrong. Not only did they love him, but he was the hit of the festival. Overnight he’d found a new audience, a younger audience, who lapped up his intoxicating gypsy jazz stylings.
His appearance at Cambridge was a turning point. All of a sudden the white haired, flamboyant shirt wearing fiddle player was in demand. And everyone wanted to play with him; not least classical virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin, with whom he would go on to make some six albums, notably Strictly For The Birds and Tea For Two. They played every major concert hall in the world from Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall. And who can for get their legendary television performance on the Parkinson chat show?

But it was in 1979 when he met UK guitarist Martin Taylor that Grappelli really got his second wind. Taylor was introduced to Grappelli by another jazz guitar great, Ike Isaacs. When Taylor was asked to deputise for Grappelli’s then guitarist who was injured, Grappelli was so impressed that he asked Taylor to stay. Taylor’s love of gypsy jazz meant he was the ideal sparring partner for Grappelli - who must have seen more than a glimmer of the young Django Reinhardt in Taylor’s playing (Taylor would later go on to form his own band, Spirit of Django, where he kept the gypsy jazz flame burning).
Grappelli made several albums with Taylor over a ten-year period and much of their output remains some of Grappelli’s most satisfying recordings of his 60+ year recording career. From 1983’s We’ve Got The World On A String to 2003’s Reunion, the pair seemed able to read each other’s minds; such was the brilliance of their playing together. I remember seeing them perform in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in the late 80s, where I shook Grappelli’s hand, and I will never forget his spell binding performance that evening.
He never retired, always saying that he would ‘play ‘til the final curtain.’ He died in 1997 after a hernia operation.
John Medd
Editors note - In case you thought Grappelli was just an old jazzer, check out this version of "Wish You Were Here" from the Experience Edition of the famed Pink Floyd album:

Signed DC: My favorite things, 2012
Its funny how you can make friends with like-minded folks online. I consider myself lucky to count amongst these types, for me, a young lady who goes by the name, Signed DC, after the Love song of the same name. Not only does she host one hell of a hip radio show Real Cool Time (on CIUT), with her husband, Rocky, but she also runs the fabulous & indispensable blog, It's All The Streets You Crossed Not So Long Ago.
Thanks for the list, DC...see you in the new year!

Charlie Brown & Lucy dig vinyl
One frame of this classic has been shared to
death over the years, and rightfully so. I'm very happy to now see the
entire strip!
Dexys: New single stream and Jools Holland New Years Eve performance on BBC 2
Dexys have announced a new single extracted from the terrific One Day I'm Going To Soar (which made my best of 2012 list) - "She's Got a Wiggle" will be released digitally on Feb 25 via the usual outlets. In the meantime it can be streamed below & on their Soundcloud (sort of making moot the point of a single release, no?).
They've also announced they'll be performing on Monday night along with Jools Holland on his New Years Eve Hootenanny show on BBC 2 at 11:10 GMT.

The Best of Punk: John Holmstrom speaks
Punk Magazine co-founder, John Holmstrom, talks to Capital about the now iconic magazine & musical scene of the mid 70's.
"We were at the right place at the right time, and I knew it. There’d
been a few articles about bands like Television and the Ramones, and
CBGB’s was also just starting to take off. CBGB’s fascinated everyone at
the time because it was on the Bowery. People were afraid to go there.
There were bums drinking at the bar, begging for change outside. But we
captured the moment..." Continued here.
Punk: The Best of Punk Magazine is available now.
There will be a launch party for the book
at Powerhouse Arena on January 11 from 6–8 p.m.

Paul Tschinkel's InnerTube: Levi and the Rockats, Jayne County, The Dead Boys (1980)
I recently received an email from Paul Tschinkel due to some of his videos I shared here, and over at James Chance Official. He was happy to see them being put to use, and mentioned he would start posting more. Well, it looks like he just might be doing that, starting with this full episode of InnerTube from 1980 starring Levi & The Rockats, Jayne County, and the Dead Boys, filmed at Max's Kansas City and at CBGB.
As Paul himself says, "This 'Paul Tschinkel's Inner-Tube' program appeared on his Manhattan
Cable TV show in 1980. It features live performances at Max's Kansas
City and CBGBs in New York that epitomize the dynamic, exciting music of
the time. We see a riveting performance by the Dead Boys and a fast
paced one by Levi and the Rockats that also includes a guest appearance
by rocker Jayne County. A short piece of old time fiddling music, taped a
fiddling convention in Independence VA in 1973, rounds out the program."
See more InnerTube videos here.
Stupefied: The Jeremy Simmonds Playlist
This week, a relatively new friend - writer Jeremy Simmonds - brings us his top 20, but with a catch: The top 20 needed to include a dead vocalist. You see, Jeremy became a friend due to a group on facebook we both belong to which concerns itself with deceased musicians. And Jeremy himself is the author of the bible of dead rock stars, The Encyclopedia of Dead Rock Stars: Heroin, Handguns, and Ham Sandwiches, recently updated & reissued for the enjoyment of the living by the Chicago Review Press. Jeremy was kind enough to take the time for a little commentary on each track included. Thanks, Jeremy!
‘DEAD SINGERS’ TOP 20 by Jeremy Simmonds
Jeez, this took some doing, but – at the expense of artists such as Jackie Wilson, Gram Parsons, Alex Chilton, Billie Holiday, 2Pac, Zappa, Summer, Strummer, Holly, Hendrix, Bolan and a wealth of country and reggae artists – here’s a Top 20 compiled of favourite tracks performed by dead singers. (Call me tomorrow, and it’ll all have changed…)
01. TWENTY-FOUR HOURS - Joy Division (1980)
The fragile meets the ugly as Ian Curtis stares into the void in one of the most devastating songs ever written. What might he have become?
02. TROUBLE MAN - Marvin Gaye (1972)
Movie or no movie, this was Gaye exorcising his own early demons. As with many of his great seventies workouts, Trouble Man was largely stunning improvisation.
03. LOVER YOU SHOULD’VE COME OVER - Jeff Buckley (1994)
As languid and compelling a song about unrequited love as you’ll hear anywhere, LYSCO exposes the humility behind Buckley’s often prickly exterior.
04. SPIRIT DITCH - Sparklehorse (1995)
Mark Linkous wrote the sparse, disquieting Spirit Ditch on an eight-track belonging to Cracker’s David Lowery. Accidental genius – like much of Sparklehorse’s output.
05. DON’T STOP ‘TIL YOU GET ENOUGH - Michael Jackson (1979)
Some joy from beyond the darkness: DSTYGE just might be the greatest dance record ever made, its ability to galvanise and animate unlike anything produced since.
06. THIS MASQUERADE - The Carpenters (1973)
Occasionally, over-arrangement swamped Karen’s light, probing tenor – but its unadorned beauty was never better displayed than on Leon Russell’s finest song.
07. BLACK-EYED DOG - Nick Drake (1974)
Perhaps the bleakest three minutes ever committed to tape, Black-Eyed Dog sketches Drake’s fragility and disillusion in one of the last songs he was to record.
08. SHE’S LIKE HEROIN TO ME - The Gun Club (1981)
Jeffrey Lee Pierce fused the energy of first-wave punk with the purity of the blues – how a 31-year-old recording of a dead guy can sound so ‘alive’ is simply a marvel.
09. #9 DREAM - John Lennon (1974)
A Day in the Life receives the nod as his finest Beatles moment, but this remains a favourite from Lennon’s solo catalogue. Familiar yet at the same time strangely alien.
10. A CHANGE IS GONNA COME - Sam Cooke (1963)
That rare thing, an introspective protest song: however, the tragedy of Sam’s untimely passing only enhanced the already overwhelming sense of finality within ACIGC.
11. SUPERSEX - Morphine (1994)
Mark Sandman’s was a weary world of whisky, sleaze and budget motels with busted neon signs, dished up over bass and sax. Supersex coolly captures the whole shebang.
12. LOUNGE ACT - Nirvana (1991)
Did Kurt love his work? Hard to say in many cases, though Lounge Act suggests at someone who just wanted to punch holes through things. But in a good way.
13. BIG-EYED BEANS FROM VENUS - Captain Beefheart (1972)
As much about Zoot’s guitar as it is Beefheart’s mad muse, BEBFV shows Van Vliet edging back toward his swampy roots. (‘His music made me feel sick.’ P J Harvey)
14. SON OF SAM - Elliott Smith (2000)
Elliott Smith’s compositions never sounded as though written for public consumption. Faith borne of resignation was a recurrent theme: sadly, SOS offered us all false hope.
15. NO RAIN - Blind Melon (1993)
Shannon Hoon didn’t seem the reckless type on the sprightly yet contemplative No Rain – and the song itself didn’t sound like anything composed by a pal of Axl Rose…
16. BE-BOP-A-LU-LA - Gene Vincent (1956)
Ian Dury was right – the real birth of rock ‘n’ roll arrived with the brief popularity of tragic Virginia rebel Gene Vincent. This reverb-drenched classic nails his legend.
17. LADY DAY & JOHN COLTRANE - Gil Scott-Heron (1971)
Revolution… is certainly the more important cut, but this work-out never fails to raise the mood. In fact, it’s so good, one doesn’t even have to reach for Billie or John…
18. RIDERS ON THE STORM - The Doors (1971)
Despite Jim Morrison’s descent into poetic self-indulgence, The Doors still had in them one last great album with him at the helm. ROTS was the jewel in its crown.
19. OUT ON THE FLOOR - Dobie Gray (1966)
It took almost a whole decade for this ignored gem to re-emerge as a Northern Soul favourite. Others might plump for Drift Away, but this was Dobie’s best moment.
20. THE BOOK LOVERS - Broadcast (1996)
Founder James Cargill continued to use Trish Keenan’s vocals on the band’s recordings after her 2011 death. This early cut displays her haunting style at its finest.
