One of the best jazz guitarists in history
One of the most important guitarists in music history, Django Reinhardt revolutionised the jazz scene through his hot jazz band and gypsy jazz in 1920s France. He's even more remarkable for the fact that he lost the use of two fingers during a fire. His music is warm, like being wrapped in honey, and it's a treat for the ears. As a classical guitarist his music has inspired my life immensely.

81 by Joanna Newsom

Track

"She plays the harp and the piano. But what's interesting about her voice is that it's a deal breaker: People either love it or hate it, and I'm always attracted to artists who have that kind of divisive quality. Her songs are influenced by classical music, early folk, and chamber music, and she sings about nature and love and heartbreak but in very unexpected, poetic ways. And she's amazing to watch live. She's like Jimi Hendrix on the harp."

"These are two of the ripped-from-the-headlines social realist films that Warner Brothers made in the 1930s. I Am a Fugitive is like a classical tragedy, majestic and horrifying, and very thorough in its presentation of systematic injustice. Heroes For Sale is more melodramatic, covering a mixed bag of problems – drug addiction, displacement of workers through automation, and violent labor struggles. Wellman used real workers and homeless people in some of these scenes, which increases the impact."
