 A musical tribute to Didier Lockwood, one of the greatest French jazz violinists, supported early on by the legendary Stéphane Grappelli, a glorious elder.
 Didier passed away in February 2018 and his producer, Jean Marie Salhani, wished to pay him a musical tribute worthy of the immense international career of this rare musician and generous human being: “I worked closely with Didier Lockwood from 1979 and 1995. During this period, we made nearly 20 recordings together and gave more than 1,500 performances throughout the world. I wished to pay tribute to Didier and carry out a work of memory in order to salute the exceptional man, friend and artist that he was.”
 The deluxe boxset contains musical highlights and a rare film, ‘The young man with a violin’, showing a rare interview given to a journalist by Stéphane Grappelli and Didier Lockwood together, plus live footage of a concert in 1985 where Didier Lockwood displays his genuine talent and
innovative music.
