This is a Wonderful Disc!
08/07/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a wonderful disc which features the "original" Grappelly & Reinhardt, namely Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang on violin and guitar. Venuti & Lang invented and perfected the light, jive-swing style a decade before G&R; in fact, it's almost entirely likely that Stéphane Grappelly got the idea for his style from listening to Venuti's records on the Okeh label from the '20s. This is really fine and mellow American music from a time before the effects of World War I were fully felt in transforming America from a quiet but potential power to the superpower which supplanted Britain in the 20th Century. Listen to this disc and mellow into an age gone by. Happy listening!"
