    Django  Reinhardt  was the  first  hugely influential  jazz  figure to   
    emerge from Europe -- and he remains the most influential European  to
    this day, with possible competition from Joe Zawinul, George Shearing,
    John McLaughlin, his old cohort Stephane Grappelli and a bare  handful
    of others. A free-spirited  gypsy, Reinhardt wasn't the  most reliable
    person in the world, frequently wandering off into the countryside  on
    a whim.  Yet Reinhardt  came up  with a  unique way  of propelling the
    humble acoustic guitar into the front line of a jazz combo in the days
    before amplification became widespread. He would spin joyous,  arcing,
    marvelously inflected  solos above  the thrumming  base of  two rhythm
    guitars and a bass, with Grappelli's elegantly gliding violin  serving
    as the perfect  foil. His harmonic  concepts were startling  for their
    time --  making a  direct impression  upon Charlie  Christian and  Les
    Paul, among others -- and he was an energizing rhythm guitarist behind
    Grappelli,  pushing their  groups into  a higher  gear. Not  only  did
    Reinhardt put his stamp upon jazz,  his string band music also had  an
    impact  upon  the  parallel   development  of  Western  swing,   which
    eventually  fed into  the wellspring  of what  is now  called  country
    music. Although  he could  not read  music, with  Grappelli and on his
    own, Reinhardt  composed several  winsome, highly  original tunes like
    "Daphne," "Nuages" and "Manoir de Mes Reves," as well as mad  swingers
    like  "Minor Swing"  and the  ode to  his record  label  of  the '30s,
    "Stomping at  Decca." As  the late  Ralph Gleason  said about Django's
    recordings, "They  were European  and they  were French  and they were
    still jazz."	  		    		      	   	   
  	 	 		  		  	  	 	 
    A  violinist  first  and a  guitarist  later,  Jean Baptiste  "Django"
    Reinhardt grew up  in a gypsy  camp near Paris  where he absorbed  the
    gypsy strain into his music.  A disastrous caravan fire in  1928 badly
    burned his left hand, depriving him of the use of the fourth and fifth
    fingers, but the resourceful  Reinhardt figured out a  novel fingering
    system to get  around the problem  that probably accounts  for some of
    the  originality of  his style.  According to  one story,  during  his
    recovery period,  Reinhardt was  introduced to  American jazz  when he
    found a 78 RPM disc of Louis Armstrong's "Dallas Blues" at an  Orleans
    flea market.  He then  resumed his  career playing  in Parisian  cafes
    until one day in 1934 when  Hot Club chief Pierre Nourry proposed  the
    idea of an all-string band  to Reinhardt and Grappelli. Thus  was born
    the  Quintet  of the  Hot  Club of  France,  which quickly  became  an
    international draw thanks  to a long,  splendid series of  Ultraphone,
    Decca and HMV recordings.

    The outbreak  of war  in 1939  broke up  the Quintette, with Grappelli
    remaining  in  London  where  the  group  was  playing  and  Reinhardt
    returning to France. During the war years, he led a big band,  another
    quintet with clarinetist  Hubert Rostaing in  place of Grappelli,  and
    after the liberation  of Paris, recorded  with such visiting  American
    jazzmen  as  Mel Powell,  Peanuts  Hucko and  Ray  McKinley. In  1946,
    Reinhardt took up the electric guitar and toured America as a  soloist
    with the Duke Ellington band but his appearances were poorly received.
    Some of his  recordings on electric  guitar late in  his life are  bop
    escapades where his playing sounds  frantic and jagged, a world  apart
    from  the  jubilant swing  of  old. However,  starting  in Jan.  1946,
    Reinhardt and Grappelli held  several sporadic reunions where  the bop
    influences  are more  subtly integrated  into the  old,  still-fizzing
    swing format. In the 1950s, Reinhardt became more reclusive, remaining
    in Europe, playing and recording now  and then until his death from  a
    stroke in 1953.  His Hot Club  recordings from the  `30s are his  most
    irresistible legacy;  their spirit  and sound  can be  felt in current
    groups like Holland's Rosenberg Trio.
