The award-winning Dutch jazz musician Tim Kliphuis is seen by many as the inheritor of violin legend Stéphane Grappelli’s crown.

Classically trained at the Amsterdam Conservatoire, taught to improvise by fiery gypsy jazz legends such as The Rosenberg Trio and Fapy Lafertin, Tim combines dazzling perfection and complete musical freedom like no-one else in the world.

He is the foremost ambassador for the music of Stéphane Grappelli and for the distinctive gypsy swing style that Grappelli invented with his Hot Club de France partner Django Reinhardt.
