Toots is the master of phrasing and tone, a maestro of improvisation. Follow Toots' way and you'll be welcomed by every musician you'll ever meet. His TRUTH speaks.
My favorite Chromatic Harmonica player is now gone... I am so saddened.... He was my friend from the l980's & I gave him a rose as a token of my appreciation of his beautiful music... I too will play my Chromatic Harmonica in honor of Toots... Velva Hot Lips on Harmonica 8-22-16
The GREAT Toots Thielemans and the Great John Lennon.. Beautiful! Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can ,No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world...
the harmony of the harmonica. toots does it by both expelling and inhaling from the instrument. it ain't easy and makes it one of the simple but great instruments. you must hear the music and then sing along but through your harmonica. it is perhaps one of the greatest gifts you can give a child.
Merci d'avoir partager ta passion avec tant de monde. T'as musique ne partira jamais. Tu es un vrai bruxellaire quelque chose qui maintenant n existe presque plus 😭quelqu'un qui na jamais changer de personalite et toujours rester comme il etait malgre son succes. Tu es un example pour nous tous !
De la magie!!!! Merci pour toute l'émotion qui se dégage de votre interprétation et qui m'a vraiment troublé. Pureté, passion et grande maîtrise de l’instrument. Bravo et merci.
Toots had the genius, passion & soul to climb inside his harmonica and become one with his instrument (and the music he was playing which was So Evident throughout his library of Beautiful Ballads with many great musicians throughout the world, I had the good pleasure of catching him some years ago at Catalina's Jazz Supper Club in Hollywood Ca, An Indelible Evening, So Nice!!
NOW you're wailing Thielemans....without any silly attempts at comedy. You were the greatest at what you did. I salute you. Beautiful piece of work. !!!!
I love Toots the most! Velva Hot Lips. I met him in Seattle at the Blues Alley &of took him a rose & talked with him... Ah, how I miss him... Such an amazing man... I miss you, Velva Hot Lips
Que buena explicacion de la persona que subió este vídeo,así como la introducción del propio vídeo, es realmente magnifico es escuchar Toots Thielemans, perteneciente a la Realeza Belga, muchas gracias y saludos José.
An instrument that he could fit in his back pocket... yet he could produce such incredible and touching music? Not just Belgium... but the world... has lost a musician
Dear Jean Toots: You are wonderful on haarmonica and even more so in designing the Toots hard bopper. Superb instrument (but only in key C). Wish Hohner brings out this model in other keys too.
I missed out on your performance while I was going through a bone marrow transplant in Oct. of 2003... I survived, by the grace of God... I play the Chromatic Harmonica... Velva Hot Lips
Nobody played the harmonica better than Toots .He was the best !
The absolutely best to ever do it.

Toots es lo máximo!!!

..actually Lennon saw Toots playing the Rickenbacher on tour in Hamburg in 1960 and so he decided he had to have one !
Also, the Beatles first played in New York in 1964, not 1963. But little details like that don’t distract from a great story.
thank You so much.........!
Inoubliable!!! R.I.P.
How does he do that, it's just wonderful.
This day of Toots passing, Belgium has lost its greatest ambassador...
An instrument that he could fit in his back pocket... yet he could produce such incredible and touching music? Not just Belgium... but the world... has lost a musician
wish they had the whole song here it is Beautiful
Exactly! Where is the complete version?
Excellent!
