Jean Reinhardt (23 January 1910 – 16 May 1953), known by his Romani nickname Django (French: [d?ã?go ??jna?t] or [d??~go ?en??t]), was a Belgian-born Romani-French jazz guitarist and composer. He has been hailed as one of the first major jazz talents to emerge in Europe and as one of its most significant exponents. With violinist Stéphane Grappelli, Reinhardt formed the Paris-based Quintette du Hot Club de France in 1934. The group was among the first to play jazz that featured the guitar as a lead instrument. Reinhardt recorded in France with many visiting American musicians, including Coleman Hawkins and Benny Carter, and briefly toured the United States with Duke Ellington's orchestra in 1946. He died suddenly of a stroke in 1953 at the age of 43. Reinhardt's most popular compositions have become standards within gypsy jazz, including "Minor Swing" "Daphne", "Belleville", "Djangology", "Swing '42", and "Nuages". Jazz guitarist Frank Vignola claims that nearly every major popular-music guitarist in the world has been influenced by Reinhardt. Over the last few decades, annual Django festivals have been held throughout Europe and the U.S., and a biography has been written about his life. In February 2017, the Berlin International Film Festival held the world premiere of the French film Django.More...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Reinhardt

Stéphane Grappelli (French pronunciation: [stefan g?ap?li]; 26 January 1908 – 1 December 1997, born Stefano Grappelli) was a French-Italian jazz violinist. He is best known as a founder for the Quintette du Hot Club de France with guitarist Django Reinhardt in 1934. It was one of the first all-string jazz bands. He has been called "the grandfather of jazz violinists" and continued playing concerts around the world well into his eighties For the first three decades of his career, he was billed using a gallicised spelling of his last name, Grappelly, reverting to Grappelli in 1969. The latter, Italian spelling is now used almost universally when referring to the violinist, including reissues of his early work.More.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phane_Grappelli
