"[Grappelli] was a major artist, and as such deserves a large and detailed biography. This is such a book....Paul Balmer's biography is at its best on the latter part of Grappelli's career. There are no startling revelations of wife-beating or cross-dressing. It is plain that Grappelli could be difficult at times..., but it is a tribute to his charm that one of the photographs in it shows him with Miles Davis--and Davis is smiling broadly. It took a lot to make Miles Davis smile.Balmer, Paul is the author of 'Stephane Grappelli With and Without Django', published 2003 under ISBN 9781860744532 and ISBN 1860744532.
