The Makers of Gypsy Jazz
His deformed left hand and his perseverance created Jazz Manouche, a new way of playing the guitar. He let his mind and fingers fly over the fretboard improvising creating an amazing, joyful and fluid music. Their magic gave way to the Solo Guitar and together with the spectacular violinist Stephane Grappelly they created Le Pompe. A Famous String Quintet: Quintette Du Hot Club de France.
