orig. Jean-Baptiste Reinhardt

born Jan. 23, 1910, Liberchies, Belg.
died May 16, 1953, Fontainebleau, France

Belgian-French guitarist.

Of Roma (Gypsy) parentage, Reinhardt learned guitar at an early age, adapting his technique to accommodate the loss of the use of two fingers burned in a caravan fire in 1928. With jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli (1908-97), he formed the Quintette du Hot Club de France in 1934. He toured the U.S. with Duke Ellington in 1946. Reinhardt was one of the first important guitar soloists in jazz; his blend of swing and the Roma musical tradition as well as his unconventional technique made him a unique and legendary figure.
