Polite reminder that Django Reinhardt was one of the greatest jazz players of all time while being "disabled". While some knew of his left hand's finger issues, very few knew his struggles with walking at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxQxajcOyCI
We say people are disabled, but in any just reality they'd just be people. Django played incredible music, nobody can tell me he was somehow disabled. The man was a genius and his experiences shaped his music, nothing more.
