Retro Redux: Charlie Byrd's Inspiration Led The Way | Blogcritics
Although Latin jazz was the farthest thing from his mind while growing up in Virginia, Charlie Byrd was musically inclined and was already an accomplished acoustic guitarist when he was stationed in Paris near the end of World War II. It was a time and place that was significant because it allowed him to spend some time listening to legendary Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt perform. (And possibly even play alongside him, although that detail is a little fuzzy.)
