one
> of the most beloved musicians in jazz history. His popularity and
influence
> reach far and wide, both within the jazz world and in our culture at
large.
> As a whistler he is known to virtually everyone. For instance his
landmark
> composition "Bluesette" is a standard and has been performed and recorded
> extensively since it was penned in the early 60's. His whistling was also
> featured in the old Andy Griffith show and the Old Spice commercial from
the
> 60's. Virtually everyone alive from those times who owned a TV knows the
> beautiful melodies that Toots whistled.
> As a harmonica player, Toots is featured on movie soundtracks like
"Midnight
> Cowboy" and " Sugarland Express" and he plays on and wrote the theme to
> Sesame Street. And as a guitarist Toots was a member of George Shearing's
> landmark Quintet. Toots has a Jazz pedigree that few living musicians can
> rival. He has performed with Benny Goodman, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis,
> Milt Jackson, Oscar Peterson, Quincy Jones, and Paul Simon. His harmonica
> playing is more advanced and sophisticated than any other musician who has
> ever played the instrument. His primary inspiration when he first started
> out was the great Larry Adler. He has been a primary influence to Stevie
> Wonder on harmonica. Quite simply Toots Thielemans is a musical giant
with a
> heart of gold. Joining Toots at Night Town is the wonderful pianist Kenny
> Werner. Toots and Kenny have a new CD on the Verve Label that is just
