“While Lockwood acknowledged [Stéphane] Grappelli as his hero, he by no means limited himself to the elder violinist’s ‘gypsy jazz’ milieu. Lockwood was already a rock star by the time he met Grappelli – a veteran of the progressive band Magma – and would proceed from his tutelage to a career heavily identified with jazz fusion. In addition, Lockwood was a composer of violin concertos as well as two operas, and created a musical with his first wife, singer Caroline Casadesus.”
