The Live Takes, Volume 1
Toots Thielemans 

49455 Narada Jazz

Toots Thielemans is jazz's great harmonica player.  Credited with introducing the chromatic harmonica as a jazz instrument, Toots' chops and dexterity have led him to stage and studio with many of the century's jazz legends including Charlie Parker, Benny Goodman, Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, Clark Terry, Stephane Grappelli, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Edith Piaf, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and many more.

Thielemans' new recording, THE LIVE TAKES, VOL. 1 captures the virtuosity of his live performances from Birdland to Belgium in a cool array of standards and new originals. 

 

"One of the greatest musicians of our time."        
-Quincy Jones
