Search - Django Reinhardt :: Django Reinhardt (BD Jazz)

BD Jazz is a new label which offers listeners an introduction to some of the greatest jazz musicians of our time through a two disc set of their most-loved songs.

This specially formatted piece is a must-have for jazz fans as well as jazz neophytes trying to learn about the genre. Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, born in Belgium in 1910, remains one of Europe?s most important contributions to Jazz. Raised in a gypsy community outside of Paris, Reinhardt lost the use of his forth and fifth fingers on his left hand in a caravan fire, which some say resulted in his truly unique playing style. His recordings on Ultraphone, Decca and HMV are among the finest jazz guitar playing ever to be recorded.
