Re: [Harp-L] Toots Blues with Les Thompson

[Winslow Yerxa <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is actually a compilation from two different albums recorded about five 
years apart. All of "The Sound" is here, but several cuts are borrowed from 
"Time Out For Toots" (the cuts with Hank Jones, among others), which was 
recorded after the more bop-oriented small group recording "Man Bites Harmonica" 
but intentionally emulates "The Sound."

Hi Michael,

I agree with you - Toots seems to be playing (very masterfully) in an
older jazz style on many of these cuts!

Here's a thread over at Slidemeister on this subject:

Winslow turned me on to "The Amazing Sound" and it is well worth checking out!

Here it is:
