Django Reinhardt (January 23, 1910 – May 16, 1953) was a Manouche (French Roma) child-prodigy who became a master musician at a very early age, possibly the first guitar virtuoso in jazz. Mostly known for his guitar virtuosity, he is also regarded as the originator of the musical genre Jazz Manouche, where the guitar is front and center (in contrast to most other kinds of jazz of his time where brass instruments were usually playing the melodies and solos). Reinhardt created the Hot Club de France Quintet, with a format still used in the genre with all acoustic stringed instruments.

Modern Jazz Hot Club is a fresh ensemble creating a crossroads of jazz manouche and modern straight-ahead jazz. Rooted in the spirit of Django Reinhardt, the group reimagines the Hot Club tradition with inventive interpretation, deep swing, and a touch of post-bop sophistication. Rather than revisiting the usual repertoire, MJHC breathes new life into lesser-heard gems, hard and post-bop, and showcases compelling original compositions.
