Originally released in 1987, Stephane Grappelli plays Jerome Kern is a superb recording. A thoroughly engaging and charming listening experience. "Joined by two guitars (Marc Fossett and Martin Taylor), bass, drums and a subtle string orchestra, Grappelli comes up with fresh statements on 11 Jerome Kern songs including such classics as "The Way You Look Tonight," "All the Things You Are," "Pick Yourself Up" and "I Won't Dance." .. allmusic
