A black and white photo of the Quintette du Hot Club de France. Five musicians pose in front of stage curtains. They are all smartly dressed in white jackets and shirts with black bow ties and black trousers. Stéphane Grappelli stands on our left, smiling, with his violin under his arm. Django Reinhardt sits in the centre with his guitar in his lap. Two other guitarists sit behind him, and the bass player stands at the back. The other members of the band may be bassist Louis Vola, and rhythm guitarists Roger Chaput and Joseph Reinhardt (Django's brother).

When I posted about #StephaneGrappelli yesterday, I'd not realised that #DjangoReinhardt 's birthday was a few days earlier on 23rd Jan.
If I had a time machine I'd pop back and see if they had wild joint birthday parties!
