Stéphane Grappelli Documentary

Kudos to Marc Myers for posting this tribute to the brilliant Stéphane Grappelli, hosted by the guitarist Martin Taylor, who became a musical partner of Grappelli during the later part of the violinist’s life. Very enjoyable!

Art Tatum Documentary

This film by Howard Johnson is about the most in-depth documentary we have of the untouchable genius that was Art Tatum. You’ll find yourself wanting more in the way of biography, but nonetheless, there are some insights into his remarkable technique especially from Dick Hyman and Hank Jones and reminisces from Maurice Waller (Fats’s son) and Les Paul.
