He died suddenly of a stroke at age 43.</p> <p>Many guitar players and other musicians have expressed admiration for Reinhardt or have cited him as a major influence. Jeff Beck described Reinhardt as "by far the most astonishing guitar player ever" and "quite superhuman".</p> </div> <!-- /.pull-lg-4 col-md-7 col-lg-8 #block2__text --> </div> <!-- /row #block2 --> <div class="row" id="block3"> <div class="col-md-5 col-lg-4 text-center animated" id="block3__photo"> <img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/1220116/django-bw-2.jpg" alt="Django Reinhardt" /> </div> <!-- /.col-md-5 col-lg-4 text-center #block3__photo --> <div class="col-md-7 col-xl-8 animated" id="block3__text"> <h2>World War II</h2> <img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/1220116/line-blue.png" id="block3__text__line" alt="Graphic separator" /> <p>Because Reinhardt and his family were Gypsies, and he was also a jazz musician, he tried to escape from occupied France with his family. After his first attempt, he survived when a secretly jazz-loving German, Luftwaffe officer Dietrich Schulz-Köhn, let him go back to France after he was captured.</p> <p>During the occupation of France, Reinhardt continued playing and composing. One of his songs, "Nuages," became an unofficial anthem in Paris to signify hope for liberation. One day at a concert, the popularity of the song was such that the crowd made him replay the song three times in a row.</p> </div> <!-- /.col-md-7 col-xl-8 #block3__text --> </div> <!-- /row #block3 --> <div class="row animated" id="button-more"> <div class="text-center" id="button-more__block"> <a class="btn btn-lg" role="button" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Reinhardt" title="Read more about Django" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">Read more about Django</a> </div> </div> <!-- /.row animated #button-more --> </div> <!-- /.container --> <footer id="footer-by"> <div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6 source text-left"> <p>A Pen by Rémy Lenoir - Source: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Reinhardt" rel="external nofollow" class="footer-by__footer__link">Wikipédia</a></p> </div> <!-- /.col-sm-6 text-center --> <div class="col-sm-6 text-right" id="footer-by__footer__social"> <a href="https://www.behance.net/remylenoir" rel="external" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-behance" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/remy_lenoir" rel="external" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/upaboveyou/" rel="external" target="_blank"><i class="fa fa-instagram" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div> <!-- /.col-sm-6 text-right #footer-by__footer__social --> </div> <!-- /.row --> </div> <!-- /.container --> </footer> <!-- /#footer-by -->
