If you could pinpoint a big bang in the guitar universe, it would most likely have emanated from the strings and soundboard of Jean Django Reinhardt's steel-string acoustic on December 27, 1934, in Montparnasse, France.
Reinhardt had already been playing professionally for years and, in fact, he predated Charlie Christian by well over a decade. But this date (the Big Djang?) marked his first recording with the celebrated Quintette du Hot Club de France-featuring violinist Stephane Grappelli, Reinhardt's brother Joseph Nin-Nin Reinhardt and Roger Chaput (later replaced by Eugene Ninine Vees and Pierre Ferret) on rhythm guitars, and Louis Vola (replaced by Emmanuel Soudieux in 1938) on bass-whose instrumentation and remarkable improvisations were unprecedented in the European jazz world. From that moment on, Reinhardt's fearless gypsy approach to jazz guitar re- sounded like a shot heard 'round the world, leaving millions of mouths agape and setting the course for the instrument's evolution.
