About: Django Reinhardt

The founder of jazz manouche and one of the most influential guitarists of the 20th century, Django Reinhardt played with paralysed fingers better than most could with ten. His 1930s recordings with the Quintette du Hot Club de France remain the cornerstone of the entire genre.
