[78-L] Venuti!

[Spats]

Hi!

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. Grappelly's early stuff could be 
quite corny compared to the others. Venuti was swinging like the 
proverbial clappers before Grappelly and Reinhardt (Django is my 
favourite Jazz guitarist, by the way) had even recorded!

Granted, Grappelly developed into a great Jazz violinist, but it took him time!

Earl.
