Jean TootsThielemans arrived in the U.S. from his native Belgium in 1951. His first worksin jazz were as a guitarist, instrument on which he achieved recognition assoon as he joined the George Shearing Quintet in late 1952. However, he wasalso a skilful harmonica player.

The presentselection was intended to introduce the several facets of the instrument asexposed by Toots Thielemans thorough musicianship, his swing, and his uniqueachievements in versatility. For him, the ingredients of jazz are the beat (themotor) and sound, melody, and harmony (the intelligence). In this collectionyou will find Toots playing harmonica on every track, and even overdubbingguitar solos on four of them. With feats like this, not only he proved thatjazz is a music of many moods, but he also brought a new perspective to the useof the harmonica in the jazz field; because one thing is certain: he can makeit swing!
