Django Reinhardt is neither an obscure musician nor Dutch... It's the father of a style called Jazz Manouche. Maybe is not well known in the US.

Fun fact: Django was a big influence on Willie Nelson who is, of course, very well known in the US. It might not be overly obvious because of the genre disparities but listen to Willie's guitar phrasing.
