Hot Club Roma Django Reinhardt

DJANGO REINHARDT

As a young Gypsy musician Django Reinhardt's caravan burned to the ground and he suffered terrible burns to his body including his hands. So badly burned were the third and fourth fingers of his left hand that doctors believed that he would never play guitar again

With rehabilitation and practice he relearned his craft in a completely new way, even as his third and fourth fingers remained partially paralyzed. He played all of his guitar solos with only two fingers, and used the two injured digits only for chord work.
In this way, Reinhardt used his handicap to his advantage and invented a brand new style and then went on to become one of Europe's first jazz guitarists with his highly original Quintette du Hot Club de France.
His great name and original style live on, inspiring thousands of jazz musicians around the world - who graft Django's style into their own playing. Hot Club Roma is one of those bands!
