Franz Poptie (1918 - 2010) was considered to be the Dutch Grappelli. He recorded a fantastic version of the Grappelli/Rheinhardt tune HCQ Strut. When I searched for this in 2023 it seemed to have vanished from the Internet so I thought I'd upload it, together with some enhanced and colourized photos.
There is a backing track for this tune at youtube.com/watch?v=oAH2AqtgmLc&list=PLUQV6RFOFmf-mFJ0ZK6y4CMBSM_kf9r9b&index=16
You can download it from Bandcamp (free) chastewviolinmusic.bandcamp.com/track/hcq-strut-gypsy-jazz-backing-track
The first part of the improv is broken down in the video youtube.com/watch?v=iows7SsQ1Fc&list=PLUQV6RFOFmf9qd75VQK50AaCEs0W-JCej&index=15
