John Etheridge formed Sweet Chorus in 1998 as a personal tribute to Stephane Grappelli ,the greatest violinist of Jazz, with whom he had toured for many years in the late 70’s, early 80’s ..
The band takes it’s cue from the great Reinhardt /Grappelli repertoire of 1930’s classics but is in no way a slavish itation of that music .
Inspired by Grappelli’s always questing spirit the band evinces dazzling forays into repertoire form all periods ..”always engaging and committed.”
