Yehudi Menuhin, violin
& Stephane Grappelli, jazz violin (1998)
- Cheek to Cheek (Berlin)

Since there are two violins in this piece, it's not possible to tell who is who if one is not familiar with either world-class musician.

Menuhin is the "higher voice". He starts and ends the piece with a classical flair. Grappelli trips along foot-loosely as the "lower voice" partner.
