Jon Burr who, among other things (check his bio), played bass with  
Grappelli had this to say about the music.

"This is a unique first-time appearance of a new project recreating  
the actual arrangements of the great Grappelli trios. Jonathan Russell  
has done incredible work transcribing the music. We're privileged and  
blessed to be joined by Howard Alden in this maiden outing of this  
special new presentation."

Hey "J", if you are listening, you are big timing it now.  
Congratulations on your progress as a musician and a man. Will you  
still have time to jam with us lesser musos now and then? We are very  
fortunate to have been in the neighborhood to watch you grow.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
