In august this year the belgian harmonica and guitar player Toots Thielemans passed away 94 years old, In the 1960s (and in the 70s as well) Toots were HUGE in Sweden, he was almost everywhere (tv, radio and papers) all the time. He's laid back jazz were nice and pleasant, but also very groovy in parts. This whistling guy is maybe not everybody's cup of tea, some may called the it dorky deluxe, but who cares? I've got his music in the mother's milk as many other swedes (he did music and whistling for children tv-shows/films here in Sweden), may therefor I dig Toots so much? He released a lot of albums in Sweden through the sixties and seventies - this is his first from 1961, released by the legendary Metronome Records. Groovy!
Enjoy!
