Jazz Manouche, is said to have been started by guitarist Jean "Django" Reinhardt in the 1930s.   Born in Belgium and from Sinti/Romani decent, Reinhardt made his fame in France and was noted for combining chromatic Eastern European flavors with popular swing articulations of the period.   The Broken Heartstrings performs the very best in traditional and postmodern jazz manouche, emulate the exciting sounds of 1930's Hot Club Jazz https://www.heartstringshotclub.com/
