Unequaled, Stephan Grappelli remains the greatest jazz violinist ever.

After his career with Reinhardt and the Quintette du Hot Club de France, he appeared on hundreds of recordings including sessions with jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, vibraphonist Gary Burton, pop singer Paul Simon, mandolin player David Grisman, classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin, orchestral conductor André Previn, and fiddler Mark O'Connor. He also collaborated extensively with the British guitarist and graphic designer Diz Disley, recording 13 record albums with him and his trio. He also collaborated extensively with now renowned british guitarist Martin Taylor.

Grappelli was interred in Paris' famous Père Lachaise Cemetery.
