Febrer, Mathilde
Milou En Mai, Hommage A Stephane Grappelli
"A tribute to the French master of jazz violin is no easy task... but who better than Mathilde Febrer to accomplish it? She trained as a classical violinist but turned her bow to jazz a long time ago. Shes accompanied a variety of artists, from Daniel Colin and Alexandre Lagoya to Led Zeppelin and Charles Aznavour, including Claude Bolling, Renaud, Henri Salvador, Rodolphe Raffalli and Sanseverino. And now, finally, we have her first album under her own name, produced for the label Respect Record by Kenichi Takahashi, a Japanese legend who loves France and its music. The peerless grace of this violinist derives additional energy from the skilled assembly of musicians who accompany her, all of them among the best jazz instrumentalists in France. The result has an unrivalled swing in music that is timeless. Augustin BONDOUX - Patrick FRMEAUX "
