Re: [Harp-L] Jean Toots Thielemans' Birthday

We brought Toots and Kenny to St. Louis in 1999 for the SPAH Jazz Show. Class act all the way.



Toots was a joy to deal with. When he returned to Belgium after the SPAH show, he left a message on my phone answering machine just letting me know he arrived home OK.

I couldn't agree more. Toots has done as much as anyone to bring the harmonica to the place that it is now. Saw him with Kenny Werner a couple years ago. Great show.Â

Happy Birthday Toots.Â
