Django Reinhardt was one of the most influential jazz guitarists of all time. Born in Belgium in 1910, he overcame severe injuries to two fingers on his left hand to develop a unique playing technique that revolutionized jazz guitar. As co-founder of the Quintette du Hot Club de France alongside violinist Stéphane Grappelli, Reinhardt became synonymous with "gypsy jazz," leaving behind classics like "Minor Swing" and "Nuages." His pioneering work continues to inspire generations of musicians worldwide.
Decca Records is renowned as one of the world?s leading record labels with a rich history dating back to 1929. Known for its commitment to high-quality recordings across genres such as classical music, pop, rock, and especially jazz, Decca has worked with iconic artists including Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong.
