Didier Lockwood had a diverse career, ranging from progressive rock to fusion to swing and advanced hard bop. He was a member of French avant-prog outfit <a href="spotify:artist:5JeJHWfm2ZxNd09hrIf7Zb">Magma</a> in the 1970s, and in the '80s he was considered the next in a line of great French violinists after <a href="spotify:artist:6AfbDYupHV5e6nse9W6tKG">Stephane Grappelli</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3SInttLnvf5G4Aa95aAYPr">Jean-Luc Ponty</a>. Lockwood began studying violin when he was six. Ten years later, he stopped his formal training and joined a rock group. He played in Paris with <a href="spotify:artist:1Z0lthC9NP1vvut7ijv3FF">Aldo Romano</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5khCKDGtTIZreUFp0gayVL">Daniel Humair</a>, among others, and met <a href="spotify:artist:6AfbDYupHV5e6nse9W6tKG">Grappelli</a> and toured with him. He had a fusion group called <a href="spotify:artist:5jyOS8L5CughATUjhDX8GP">Surya</a> and recorded with <a href="spotify:artist:1TW90GjShgkjySrxBxcwQe">Tony Williams</a> around the same period of time (1979). Lockwood played in the United States on various occasions and recorded an acoustic album in 1986 with fellow violinists <a href="spotify:artist:6u261rQ1OCG4GxuzcpUjHJ">John Blake</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2o9yy7JZaNONL55k3AtBKU">Michal Urbaniak</a>. He continued to perform and record, with a large discography as leader or collaborator extending well into the first two decades of the new millennium. Didier Lockwood died in Paris in February 2018 at the age of 62. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
