Its director, pianist, combined classical composition with improvisation and a bit of blues. And one of the Modern Jazz Quartet's signature tunes was Lewis' composition 'Django.' John Lewis wrote 'Django' in tribute to the legendary Belgian Gypsy guitarist. 'He was the first great European jazz musician,' Mr. 'Really music was it. That was him. He and music were synonymous. That's what he did.' Django's guitar playing as it turns barely audible, tender, melancholy, and then—Bam!—an exuberant shout of a chord, and a mile-a-minute string of notes as though he just couldn't contain himself. Django—no one used his last name—was born in a caravan near Lervashi, Belgium, in 1910 to a family of Roma, the proper term for Gypsy. He probably learned to play the guitar at a very young age because music was one of the few ways the Roma had to support themselves. It's something of a miracle he could play at all. When he was about 18, a fire tore through his caravan and he was seriously burned. Two fingers on his left hand, the hand he used to press the strings to the neck of the guitar to form notes, were burned so badly that they were permanently bent and almost unusable. What he did with the other two fingers and his thumb and the blinding speed of his right hand picking has confounded musicians and listeners ever since.

'He was very elegant with a lot of high class appearing,' says Pierre Michelot, who played bass with Django for the last few years of the guitarist's life. 'He was very nice, very simple.
