| The Quintet Du Hot Club De France was a jazz band formed in Paris in the 1930s. The group was co-founded by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli. They were instrumental in popularizing the style of jazz known as Gypsy jazz or hot jazz. The quintet's music focused on acoustic instrumentation, particularly the unique combination of guitars and violin. Their virtuosic playing, improvisation skills, and infectious rhythms made them one of the most influential jazz groups of their time. |
