Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) was an excellent French jazz guitarist, still a role model for many contemporary jazz guitarists. He was one of the first European jazz guitarists to establish themselves in the world. Together with the violinist Stéphane Grappelli, they founded the Quintette du Hot Club de France, which is considered one of the most original groups in the history of jazz. His most famous songs such as My Sweet, Minor Swing, Tears, Belleville, Djangology or Nuages have become jazz standards.
