The Genius of Toots
Magnificent musician -- who knew a harmonica/mouth hard/ whatever could sound this way. We only discovered Toots about 10 years ago and have a number of CDs -- this is one of our favorites. It's a good one to get as an introduction or if you love Toots and don't already have it. He is just astonishing. Wishing him happiness and good health forever!

Toots Forever
Toots is a man who never gets old. His music is at 90 pretty much what it has been throughout the years. He may have retired because he feels the fatigue of performing on the road, but his harmonica continues to be the best in jazz. In his new CD “90 years" he plays with his European group. It includes some real gems. If you're a Toots fan, you will not be disappointed.

Great Music and Video Toots
This cd.video is great, Toots may been getting old, but is music is better like a good wine. Great selelction of music. The video is excellent platying the music of the cd in a concert in front of people, is better. If you like harmonica music, and he is the best with is own band superb.You will love this music.

Can't go wrong with Toots
Heard him the first time on some old Pablo records. I was blown away and have been a fan ever since. No one plays the harp like Toots Thielemans.

Terrific album by a legend.
Toots Thielmans is a legend of jazz chromatic harmonica. He has made many albums and this, at the age of 90, is one of his best. He is performing with an excellent jazz trio of empathetic musicians whith whom he has great musical rapport. There is also an accompanying DVD of live performances. I would highly recommend this. A great buy.
