Einzelheiten: In 1934, Reinhardt and Parisian violinist Grappelli were invited to form the Quintette du Hot Club de France with Reinhardt s brother Joseph and Roger Chaput on guitar, and Louis Vola on bass. Occasionally Chaput was replaced by Reinhardt s best friend and fellow Gypsy Pierre Baro Ferret. The vocalist Freddy Taylor participated in a few songs, such as Georgia On My Mind and Nagasaki . Jean Sablon was the first singer to record with him more than 30 songs from 1933. They also used their guitars for percussive sounds, as they had no true percussion section. The Quintette du Hot Club de France was one of the few well-known jazz ensembles composed only of string instruments. In Paris on 14 March 1933 Reinhardt recorded two takes each of Parce que je vous aime and Si, j aime Suzy , vocal numbers with lots of guitar fills and guitar support, using three guitarists along with an accordion lead, violin, and bass. In August of the following year recordings were also made with more than one guitar (Joseph Reinhardt, Roger Chaput, and Django), including the first recording by the Quintette. In both years, it should be noted, the great majority of recordings featured a wide variety of horns, often in multiples, piano, etc. Reinhardt also played and recorded with many American jazz musicians such as Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, Rex Stewart (who later stayed in Paris), and a jam-session and radio performance with Louis Armstrong. Later in his career he played with Dizzy Gillespie in France. Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France used the Selmer Maccaferri, the first commercially available guitars with a cutaway and later with an aluminium-reinforced neck. When World War II broke out, the original quintet was on tour in the United Kingdom. Reinhardt returned to Paris at once, leaving his wife behind. Grappelli remained in the United Kingdom for the duration of the war. Reinhardt reformed the quintet, with Hubert Rostaing on clarinet replacing Grappelli s violin. In 1943, Reinhardt married Sophie Naguine Ziegler in Salbris, with whom he had a son, Babik Reinhardt, who became a respected guitarist in his own right
