Enkele bespiegelingen over een innemend artiest.

"We live In a world filled with names for all the new music we are inundated with on a daily basis: funk, techno jazz, acid, club disco, rap, hip-hop, the list goes on forever. We've lost sight of the artist and his music. It's all so packaged by the record promoters looking to sweeten the bottom line. Napsters are stealing music and we have a constant tug of war for the royalties. Excuse me, where is the art and the essence of what good music is all about? In this confused and dizzying whirlwind of outrageous personalities in their futile attempts at daring to be different; in this tasteless, bland and overwhelming society that needs to have their eyes nurtured in order to find contentment for their ears; in this techo world of electricity, with gimmicks and tools to enhance the flavor of something that has lost its taste - in this world folks, thank God for Toots Thielemans.

Toots is one of the last of a dying breed of everlasting poets of jazz. Just like Zoot or Dexter, Freddie or Miles, Toots gets beneath the lyric and finds that core that only the mind and heart of someone touched with the graces of sensitivity, taste and a mastery of his ax can accomplish." ~ Jazz Zine ~

"I can say without hesitation that Toots is one of the greatest musicians of our time. On his instrument he ranks with the best that jazz has ever produced. He goes for the heart and makes you cry. We have worked together more times than I can count and he always keeps me coming back for more." ~ Quincy Jones ~
