We fondly remember, French jazz violinist, and virtuoso, Didier Lockwood, who passed away yesterday (Sunday, February 18th), at the age of 62.

To honor his memory, here are some videos of his performances.  The first is from a solo show at Festival de Vienne, playing the composition "Globe Trotter."


The second, is from a performance in Switzerland in 2014, with Lockwood's trio.  It is Didier Lockwood on violin, Birelli Lagrene on guitar, and Richard Galliano on accordion and harmonica.

Still, a third performance to remember Lockwood by.  This third of a trilogy remembrance of sorts, is the 2017 guise of his trio, featuring Adrien Moignard on guitar, and Diego Imbert on upright bass, paying tribute to Stephane Grappelli, from Festival Ca Jazz a Brides in France, last July.  The tune is "Nuages" by Belgian gypsy jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt.
