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.

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.
