Django Reinhardt, probably the first jazz legend to emerge from the European scene, one of the most accomplished guitarists of all time and the undisputed king of the manouche guitar. Born Jean Reinhardt in 1910 and better known by his Romani name, Django’s legend began in 1928 with his first recordings at the age of 17. Just after, a brutal fire burned down his caravan; he and his wife escaped with their lives, but he suffered severe burns on half of his body and lost two fingers on his right hand.
