Garnet Clark, sometimes credited as Garnett Clark (1917 – 1938) was an American jazz pianist.
Clark began playing professionally in his birthplace of Washington, D.C at age 16 in Tommy Myles's band. By 1934 he was playing regularly in New York City clubs; in the mid-1930s he recorded with Alex Hill and Charlie Barnet. Benny Carter was playing with Barnet at the time, and he and Clark decided to quit Barnet's group and move to Europe with Willie Lewis. While there he recorded with Django Reinhardt and Bill Coleman, but soon after left this group to play solo. He accompanied Adelaide Hall in Switzerland in the mid-1930s. In 1937 he suffered a nervous breakdown, ending his career - Dieing soon afterwards aged 21!
Jean Reinhardt "Django" was born to Gypsy parents on the 24th January in 1910 at Liberchiesin Belgium. As a child he travelled throughout France, Italy and North Africa. At the age of ten the tribe took to a more permanent lifestyle at the Parisian port de Choisy. It is first reported that he accompanied his father on violin banjo and guitar at fêtes and festivals at a young age. He was an accomplished musician working in Paris when at the age of eighteen the caravan in which he was sleeping was ravaged by fire. Apparently his wife had filled the caravan that day with bunches of dried flowers. During the night Django got up and knocked a candle over setting the flowers ablaze. His left leg, and the third and forth digits on his left hand were terribly burnt. The doctors wanted to amputate the leg as it was so badly damaged, but Django refused. Some thought that this was bound to be the end to a promising career. But, with great foresight, his doctor recommended that Django be given a guitar as therapy. Django rose to the challenge and persevered, giving rise to the style of playing that was eventually to create a storm the world over.
