About Stéphane Grappelli
- Stéphane Grappelli (French pronunciation: ?[stefan g?ap?li]; 26 January 1908 – 1 December 1997), born Stefano Grappelli, was a French-Italian jazz violinist who founded the Quintette du Hot Club de France with guitarist Django Reinhardt in 1934.
- It was one of the first all-string jazz bands.
- He has been called "the grandfather of jazz violinists" and continued playing concerts around the world well into his 80s.For the first three decades of his career, he was billed using a gallicised spelling of his last name, Grappelly, reverting to Grappelli in 1969.
- The latter, Italian spelling, is now used almost universally when referring to the violinist, including reissues of his early work.
