Dear Jim,
Well said.
However, regarding your statement of Grappelli as an "assured, pleasant,
swinging but rather effete player".
'Effete' yes. 'Swinging' never. (Except on piano.)
I kept out of this silly Venuti/Grappelli thread until now, as the original
claim was simply nonsense. 
Kind regards,
Bill.
