Thielemans, Toots
Yesterday & Today
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed, Out Of Print 2012 2LP Gatefold. Jean "Toots" Thielemans Virtually Introduced The Chromatic Harmonica As A Jazz Instrument And His Performances Can Be Heard On Some Of The Best Selling Pop Records Of The Last Century. It's A Joy To Listen To Him Interpret Any Mood. This Double LP May Well Contain The Best Toots Thielemans You Never Heard. A Stunning Collection Of Both Rare And Great Music, Starting With His Earliest Recordings As A Soloist And Ending With A Memorable Duet In The New Millennium. Producer Cees Schrama, A Personal Friend, Selected All These Treasures, Looking For Recordings That Follow Toots' Long And Impressive Career And Are Hard Or Simply Impossible To Purchase On Record. Some Of The Tracks, For Example The 1946 Recording, Initially Made As A Soundtrack For A Cartoon, Were Never Issued Anywhere. Others, Among Them, The Tracks With George Shearing, Were Issued On Singles And Then Disappeared.
