Django Reinhardt (g); Roger Chaput (g); Wilson Myers (b)

Eddie South spent the years 1928 to 1931 in Paris and other parts of Europe both performing and studying, and was one of Stephane Grappelli's early inspirations, although Grappelli was mostly playing piano for a living during those years. When South returned to Paris in 1937, he in turn was inspired by the Quintette du Hot Club de France, and recording sessions soon resulted. South and Grappelli basically play a series of heated exchanges on this track, bookended by the familiar theme. Grappelli is mainly distinguished by his richer tone, not as thin as South's more classical sound. Their phrasings, however, are remarkably similar. Django Reinhardt arranged the piece and provides energetic and imaginative support that nicely frames the two violinists' expressive and technically polished improvisations. South's career never really took off, resulting in few quality record dates. If not for that, instead of a "Big Three" " Grappelli, Joe Venuti and Stuff Smith" setting the standard for jazz violin, there would probably be a "Big Four" that included the gifted Eddie South.
