Django Reinhardt was born 1910 and died 1953. He left a jazz legacy that to this day is unsurpassed. Together with violinist Stéphane Grappelli he would form the famous "Quintet of the Hot Club of France" group, creating a completely new style of jazz that was to be known as "Gypsy Jazz" or "Jazz Manouche". Django has influenced countless guitarist such as Charlie Byrd, Wes Montgomery, Stochelo Rosenberg, Tommy Emmanuel & Chet Atkins to mention a few. Great modern day guitarists who play Gypsy Jazz you should check out: Joscho Stephans, Bireli Lagrene & Adrien Moignard.
