A Belgian jazz guitarist and composer who was one of the first outstanding European jazz musicians was born on 23rd January 1910, in Jean Baptiste Reinhardt into a Romani family. At his early age, he began travelling in Belgium and France playing guitar, banjo, and violin. He became interested in jazz and was influenced by American jazz guitarist Eddie Lang. Reinhardt began to attract attention when he performed in Paris with French singer Jean Sablon in 1928. His left hand became partly paralyzed after a fire in his caravan, leaving him the use of only two fingers and prompting him to develop his own technique. He soon began to perform in a quintet with French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. The quintet's style of jazz was only loosely related to American jazz of the time, but the group's vibrant musicianship and interplay between violin and guitar began to influence American performers. With the quintet Reinhardt made over 200 recordings, in addition to recordings he made with French trumpet player Bill Coleman, American trombonist Dicky Wells, and American saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, among others. During World War II (1939-1945) Reinhardt was the leading jazz star of Paris. After the war he toured the United States and appeared with American band leader Duke Ellington and his orchestra. Towards the end of his career, Reinhardt experimented with electrical amplification and composed many pieces during his lifetime.
He died on May 16, 1953, Fontainebleau, France.
