The great-niece of the late gypsy jazz legend Django Reinhardt, French pianist Charlotte Reinhardt was immersed in music from a tender age. She started out playing classical piano before exploring other horizons like jazz and more experimental music. She recently released a beautiful contemplative album called "Colors". The musician tells FRANCE 24's Florence Villeminot about how she composed the record during the Covid-19 lockdown. Confined to her apartment with her cat Carlotine (whom she calls her muse), she says the period brought her unprecedented creative freedom.
