French jazz violinist, pianist, saxophonist and accordionist. Born January 26, 1908 in Paris, died December 1, 1997, Paris. He was born Stéfano Grappelli but his first name was gallicized to Stéphane. He was billed as Stéphane Grappelly at first, but the last name spelling on recordings changed to Grappelli in the 1960s, although he still signed his name as "Grappelly." One of the greatest pre-bop jazz violinists, also an occasional pianist, Grappelli is known for his legendary collaboration with Django Reinhardt in the '30s and '40s in their Quintette du Hot Club de France. The group disbanded at the beginning of World War 2; Grappelli went to London while Reinhardt stayed in France.
