Toots Thielemans (1922 - 2016)

... would have been 100 today.
So... here is one of his most famous pieces recorded with an orchestra at the Night of the Proms (2009). Some early morning wake up music. ☕

I love his music. He stars on one of my favorite albums: Astrud Gilberto with Stanley Turrentine.

@bijouxbroussard You have no idea what a down to earth, simple, normal ... and for as far as I'm aware super friendly guy this guy was. He comes out of absolute poverty, never forgot where he came from when he was traveling the world with his mouthpiece. And he always came back to Brussels. His intervieuws in dutch, french and Brussels dialect are a real treat.
