Babik Reinhardt

From The Gypsy Jazz Encyclopedia

Babik Reinhardt (1944-2001) was the younger of Django Reinhardt's sons (the other being Lousson Reinhardt), and a guitarist in his own right. He did not learn the guitar directly from Django (who wanted him to learn the piano instead), but from various other family members. He was involved in the Gypsy Jazz scene all his life, frequently appearing at the Samois sur Seine festival, but did not strictly adhere to the style in his playing, preferring a jazz-fusion sound.
