With Toots, it's all in the quality of the note, the phrasing, the story he tells when he plays. The harmonica is just a brush, a lens, showing you what's inside the soul. If you don't "like" the harmonica, you still have to admire the musician, the artist. Happy 93! My dad's age:}
Sadly, this day Toots has left the real world, and joined all the other great jazz-icons in the sky. At age 94 :'( Thanks Toots, for all your sweet sounds!
Aujourd'hui, après une très très longue carrière, L'ami toots est monté rejoindre Ray Charles et Frank Sinatra au club de jazz de Saint-Pierre. Avec un grand artiste, c'est un dernier "Belge" de Papa qui nous quitte. Ciao Baron, Salut l'Artiste !
Zijn muziek is zo nabij, zo 'vanzelfsprekend' dat we er soms misschien te weinig bewuste aandacht aan gaven. Toots was een muzikaal genie dat altijd bij ons zal blijven. We missen je Toots en ga door met spelen waar je ook bent!
There was true joy (and soul) in everything I've ever heard coming out of the person of Jean Toots Thielmans . With his harmonica , guitar and whistling he blessed many .
Toots,saw you at green street many years back, I've been playing since 12 years old , now 80 &sill love it ,first time I heard you I was amazed at what you could do so I got myself a chromatic, and after about 70years of practice I'm getting close , but can't read a note, but just to thank you for Many years of injoyment,al of us that know the difficulty of playing that instrument just love to listen to you masterfully play,I love you and your music, thanks again,Ray Beauvais.
Toots, grande âme, now you have seen the light. Ta musique et ta gentillesse resteront dans nos coeurs . Avec toi à ses côtés, le Bon Dieu s'ennuiera beaucoup moins.
This is so pretty. I've never seen this performance before. I love it. My dad got me into Toots Thielemans when I was little and I've been a fan ever since.
He covered so many tunes along with greats! His has been the haunting, melodic harmonics we have been hearing for years on too many to mention. Thank You for fifty years of my life listening!
Fantástico concierto, sin olvidar la entrevista (16:00 aprox).Gran músico, superdotado, uno de los muchos fenomenales músicos que el jazz ha recibido de Bélgica. Aquí está en plena forma a sus 66 años. Atención, no olvidemos al gran pianista Fred Hersch, que aquí le acompaña de manera magistral.
I do aggree with Mr. Matteo Gazzolo. And don´t forget that he was a outstanding whisrler, too. We will all missing him and specially here in Skandinavien.
Por muchos virtuosos de un instrumentos que ya conozcamos, siempre acaba apareciendo un joven que los supera a todos. Sin embargo, hay una excepción. Parece ser que nadie superarará al gran Toots Thielemans en el dominio de ese endemoniado y bellísimo instrumento que es la armónica. Y sin olvidar su excelencia con la guitarra y ... el silbido.
I saw him in Erie, PA with Mulgrew Miller. During intermission he sat with me at a table and shared his life story. Then he signed his CD. I lost that CD at a pawn shop. :(
Holy Crap ! He's doing here what I dream of and am working my butt off to achieve : replacing the normal role of a trumpet or sax with chromatic harmonica and completely effectively that is to say amazingly !

He was only 66 at the time, at the age of 92 he performed yesterday... and it was still hauntingly beautiful.
It amazes me that some people still do not give the respect that the Chromatic harmonica commands. No one can play like Toots, it is magic.
Toots was a fine musician and such a nice person. Jazz harmonica's founder! The music will live on forever !

A true jazz legend. Still today...
They are not mutually exclusive. I love jazz, blues, metal, rock, classical music, minimal house/techno.
I was a fan of Elvis Presley's music. A neighborhood kid spun a recording of Nomad by The Dave Brubeck Quartet. Instant switch.
Toots Thielmans 1988 New Orleans...awesome artist.. Piano solo is wonderful..
Zijn muziek is zo nabij, zo 'vanzelfsprekend' dat we er soms misschien
te weinig bewuste aandacht aan gaven. Toots was een muzikaal genie dat

The man deserves his peace and quiet. He gave us a great legacy of beautiful music and I salute and thank him for that.
What an amazing musician .. RIP Toots you are always remembered.
R.I.P. for all the joy you gave to the world...

94 years - a long and fruitful life he lived; but his music will live forever. RIP Mr. Thielemans and Thank you
Saw him playing live at a small pub in my hometown in the late 70's. One of the best concerts I've seen. He will be missed.
Toots is simply the best at his craft. I love his work with Quincy Jones....
merci pour tout ce que vous nous avez apporté !!! bye bye l'artiste, vous êtes désormais avec les plus grands à tout jamais
Adam Nussbaum on drums ..... perfect time ... and he drives the band so well. Toots, as always, is perfect ....... all members really tight ....
Repose en paix cher Toots, tu vas nous charmer pour toujours avec tes mélodies. ♥
Toots has affected so many lives with music and its unique version that reaches into those secret places we hold dear.
R.I.P. Toots !! Great musician & Great Person !!
This is so pretty. I've never seen this performance before. I love it. My dad got me into Toots Thielemans when I was little and I've been a fan ever since.
Thank you Mr Thielmans, a real genius and master...We love you!
great musician....
Toots is just amazing and what great backing musicians, all virtuosi in their own right.
R.I.P Lieve Toots. De muziek maakt me lekker rustig. Ik draai het heel vaak in de auto als ik van het werk afkom. En dan heerlijk zitten genieten.
He covered so many tunes along with greats! His has been the haunting, melodic harmonics we have been hearing for years on too many to mention. Thank You for fifty years of my life listening!
Toots has gone, but his beautifull music will allways stay.
Toots R.I.P.
There is also Olivier Ker Ourio. He plays the style of the great Toots.

Que gran concierto ¡!! Es la gloriai siiiii
Young master Fred - what a joy to hear him with the great Toots!
A beautiful lifetime of music. I can only wish to follow some of his footsteps. But I'd better get to work now if I want any chance at all!
I do aggree with Mr. Matteo Gazzolo. And don´t forget that he was a outstanding whisrler, too. We will all missing him and specially here in Skandinavien.

+José María Valls Beceiro: lo remarcable es que muchos no saben lo dificil
que es dominar la cromática
Excelente interpretación de Sir Toots Thielemans.
Listen to those Fred Hersch'es cascades of notes! That's just flowing like a waterfall. A true master among other master players in this session.
I saw him in Erie, PA with Mulgrew Miller. During intermission he sat with me at a table and shared his life story. Then he signed his CD. I lost that CD at a pawn shop. :(
I didn't know that Bluesette was composed by you Toots as far. It's a great tune. It's wonderful.
+吉田勉 Toots always calls "Bluesette" his social security number

Классный концерт, классные музыканты, светлая память Тутсу Тилемансу!
Жаль только что он остался так мало известен в Раше...впрочем наверно не случайно...её население настроено совершенно на другую волну
Toots is great as ever here, but wait for the amazing piano solo at 11:00. Absolutely amazing!
respect, echt zalig! merci voor al de jaren van mooie klanken
Holy Crap ! He's doing here what I dream of and am working my butt off to achieve : replacing the normal role of a trumpet or sax with chromatic harmonica and completely effectively that is to say amazingly !
Rest in peace legend!
