“Of course, he was a giant of the jazz world, and all his fans know he was a Gypsy. But many people don't realize what an enormous effect being a Gypsy had on his music which in fact transcended jazz. His behavior was at times puzzling to non-gypsies. Every true genius behaves differently to the rest of us. But, above all, my father was a gypsy.” - Babik Reinhardt
