Toots Thielemans


Has anyone seen Toot's Live? He's 89 now and still touring. I was listening to his 'Aquarela Do Brasil' release because I'm a huge Elis Regina fan.

If you don't know Toot's, Google search him. He's the best harmonica player that ever lived, and I don't think anyone would even argue with that statement. If you live in the U.S. and are 45 years old or younger, he's the guy playing the harmonica at the end of Sesame Street.

Spent some time with Toots a little over ten years ago. Told me his favorite all time recording was the one he cut with Bill Evans. It truly is a masterpiece!
I saw him in Boston about 10 years ago. Great musician. The theme song for a rather steamy Dutch movie (Turkish Delight, featuring a yound Rutger Hauer going full monthy) was written by him and is forever ingrained in my musical memory.
Frogman, your link takes me to Alice Cooper. Could this be because of Halloween?
What?! Have no idea why. I just clicked on it myself and it takes me to Elis Regina. Try again.
Yashu, that would be "Affinity". Understandably beautiful with Toots and Bill.
