Dutchman Tim Kliphuis is one of the top jazz fiddlers in the world, and has been dubbed Stéphane Grappelli's successor. After his long-standing collaboration with gypsy guitar legend Fapy Lafertin, he worked with Angelo Debarre, Stochelo Rosenberg and many others.
A soloist in his own right since 2004, Tim now has a reputation which transcends the Gypsy Jazz scene. His trademark mix of Jazz, Classical, Folk and World music has taken him to a range of venues in different styles: Edinburgh and North Sea Jazz, Richard Strauss Festival, Folkworks Festival and Baltimore Fiddle Fair, Concertgebouw Amsterdam and Arts Centres throughout the world. He has worked with accordeonist Richard Galliano, Irish fiddler Frankie Gavin and many others.
Tim Kliphuis has 4 CDs to his name and can be found on various Gypsy Jazz recordings, including the recently released "Tribute to Grappelli" with the Rosenberg Trio.
An acclaimed tutor in Grappelli's Jazz Violin style, Tim has a growing range of internationally performing students. His recent Mel Bay book "Stéphane Grappelli Gypsy Jazz Violin" has received rave reviews and HyperHip Media recently released his 6-hour DVD-set titled "Hot Jazz Violin"
