Jean-Baptiste "Toots" Thielemans
(29 April 1922 – 22 August 2016)
From The Guardian:
(29 April 1922 – 22 August 2016)
From The Guardian:
The Belgian jazz musician Toots Thielemans has died aged 94 after a long career in which he was known as one of the world’s best harmonica players.
Born in 1922 in the working class Marolles district of Brussels, Thielemans got his big break when he joined the American swing musician Benny Goodman on a European tour in 1950 before moving to the US, where he teamed up with artists such as Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.
The record producer Quincy Jones, known for his work with Michael Jackson, was quoted as saying on Thielemans’ website: “I can say without hesitation that Toots is one of the greatest musicians of our time.”

2016 has been a very greedy year so far.
The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies.
