Kenny Burrell on Django Reinhardt: “It wasn’t until I got a little older, though […] Not until I started to realize that the guitar  as an instrument is one that you can express yourself with. That was when I became very much an admirer of Django Reinhardt. Not so much as a direct inspiration, musically speaking, but as an inspiration that showed me that you can get a real unique individual sound on an instrument. It was inspiring to hear that somebody could get such a special sound. And that maybe had a more philosophical or aesthetic impact than a direct musical influence.”
