Django Reinhardt ; 23 January 1910 – 16 May 1953) was a pioneering virtuoso jazz guitarist and composer who invented an entirely new style of jazz guitar technique that has since become a living musical tradition within Belgian gypsy culture. With violinist Stéphane Grappelli, he co-founded the Quintette du Hot Club de France.
Django Reinhardt was a Belgian Jazz guitarist virtuoso, a very poor gypsy who lost the use of two of his fingers in an accidental fire at the age of 18. Despite only being able to use two fingers on the fretboard, he still became one of the most popular jazz performers in Europe through the 1930s.
When World War II was declared, he went into hiding in Paris, and was able to survive despite the Nazi persecution of gypsies. After the war, Reinhardt toured America with Duke Ellington, but later he returned to Europe and sought a retreat from modern life.
" Django Reinhardt's most popular compositions have become jazz standards, including " Nuages, les yeux noirs, Minor Swing", "Djangology" and "Swing '42"".
He is one of the most influential guitarists of the 20th Century.
