Hi all! My 2 x 40 mins podcast “Stéphane Grappelli – His Life and Legacy” is now live – super interesting chats with guitarist Martin Taylor, who was in his band (“we need more violins!”); Jean-Luc Ponty, jazz rock violin superstar and SG’s life partner, Joseph Oldenhove with whom I walked through Paris. Some great music, and lots of humour. Check the next post.

Also, for PROs and Enthusiasts (waiting for your December Challenges!), webmaster Pablo fixed two recent problems:

1. Replay of the monthly zoom lessons – you can now replay my videos from the previous 2 months
2. Old challenges – you can now click on the photos of previous months’ challenges to see your videos and my feedback to them.

Thanks Pablo. Finally, wishing you all a Merry Christmas; I hope you are enjoying working with Mélodie au Crépuscule. On to a musical 2025 and let’s continue to grow our gypsy jazz skills in the New Year!
