There's a new Grappelli album called "Conversations" (I think that's
the name).
This is an album recorded with the great Indian violinist Dr. L. Subramaniam.
Subramaniam happens to be L. Shankar's brother.  Subramaniam has been
given the title in India which, translated to English, means "Emperor
amongst violinists".  In my personal opinion, I've always felt that
Shankar was the more inspiring musician.  Subramaniam is quite awesome
technically ("Vrindavan" with Larry Coryell and Stu Goldberg and
"Garland" with European violinist Svend Asmussen).

I've only heard a couple of tracks off of "Conversations" and it seems
real good.  What I heard was a Jazz-Indian-Rock mix.

I've got an album by Grappelli, Coryell, Philip Catherine, and
N.H.O.P. (the bassist, don't make me spell his name), that's on
Pausa Records.  It has lots of great songs that were originally done
by Grappelli and Django Reinhart way back when.  I don't remember
the name of the album, but if anyone's really interested I could get it.
