A powerful album from violinist Mathilde Febvre, who is active in many fields as a session musician. \"What I aimed for this time was to get as close as possible to the beautiful and precise tone that is St?phane's forte.\" --Mathilde Febvre Album Contents Mathilde Febvre gave a wonderful performance at chanson singer Claire Elzi?re's 2022 Japan tour. This is Mathilde's first leader album and a work dedicated to the great French-born violinist, St?phane Grappelli. Mathilde's teachers were jazz violinists Didier Lockwood and Pierre Blanchard. Both of her teachers, like Mathilde, transitioned from classical music to jazz and were students of St?phane Grappelli. This is why Mathilde is considered a violinist directly descended from St?phane Grappelli. Regarding the creation of this album, Mathilde said, \"I listened to all of St?phane's albums that I have at home, and also listened to all of his other recordings. It took me two months to decide on the tracks for the album. Also, St?phane greatly valued the creativity of young people. So this time, I decided to include original songs while keeping St?phane in mind.\" \"With this album, in addition to covering St?phane's repertoire, I wanted to show that I have taken the baton as St?phane's successor by including original songs.\" Regarding the album title, Mathilde said, \"The album title, 'Un violon pour tout bagage' (All I Possess Is My Violin), is inspired by the title of St?phane's biography, 'Mon violon pour tout bagage' (All I Possess Is My Violin).\" \"All I Possess Is My Violin, meaning the violin is everything in my life. That is exactly me.\" This album is a tribute to St?phane Grappelli, whom I deeply admire, and to my mentor, while also demonstrating my intention to carry on St?phane's legacy into the future.

Mathilde Febvler Profile A violinist directly descended from St?phane Grappelli. She encountered the violin at the age of four. At the age of six, she received a violin as a gift and began attending the local conservatory, starting her career as a classical violinist. Since then, she has dedicated her life to the violin. Later, she became interested in jazz and, from around the age of 25, began studying under Didier Lockwood, a student of St?phane Grappelli. Furthermore, in 1997, she studied at a school where jazz violinist Pierre Blanchard (also a student of St?phane Grappelli) taught. Since then, she has challenged herself with various styles, mainly in jazz (rhythmic sounds like pizzicato and banjo, gypsy style, classical background, fiery virtuosity, and well-placed solos). As a result, he is able to perform in a variety of styles, including musette, swing, jazz, tango, and chanson, and has collaborated with many musicians. His main collaborators include Renaud, Henri Salvador, Charles Aznavour, Francis Cabrel, Sansevrino, Thomas Dutronc, and Manaud (a band that fuses literary rap with Celtic music). In 2016, he released an album in collaboration with accordionist Daniel Colin. He also participated in an album by chanson singer Claire Elzi?re and participated in Claire's two tours of Japan. He is currently one of the most active violinists in France.
