Bridging a generation gap of some 48 years, the ageless Stephane Grappelli took on the demanding project of a duo album with guitarist Martin Taylor, his American sideman who was then 25 years old. But it was no big deal, for Grappelli and Taylor had been jamming together casually before concerts in the green rooms for a long time, so these tracks probably just rolled right off their fingers into the tape machines, unedited. Grappelli is still in marvelous technical shape, playing in pretty much the same elegant Continental jazz fashion, and Taylor is a capable, tasteful player, with some unevenness in tone, on acoustic guitar. That said, this session admittedly reaches true ignition only in patches, for Taylor usually doesn’‘t provide enough liftoff for Grappelli to fly. One high point is “Ol’’ Man River,” which begins with a quote from “Dixie” by Taylor and finally begins to swing midway through, and the concluding take on Django Reinhardt’‘s “Daphne” finds Grappelli recapturing much of his old swinging fervor. Each of them gets a solo spot—Grappelli the grandiose impressionistic piano solo “Je N’‘Sais Plus” and Taylor a so-so improvisation called “Manhattan Tea Party.” As in the cases of many duo collaborations, the fact that these two gentlemen seem to be enjoying themselves immensely doesn’‘t necessarily guarantee that the listener will take equal pleasure at all times. ~ Richard S.
