Stephane Grappelli, the master of jazz violin, was 81 when he performed at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in 1989. His tone, his harmonics were always sparkling and soothing. And Grappelli played at the highest creative level until 1996 at age 88. It took his passing to silence him the following year. This is a Gershwin medley, and it is sheer joy, my friends.
After you watch the video, play it again...and this time, close your eyes...
