Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Toots Thielemans is the arch romantic of jazz, an unabashed melodist who specializes in wringing joy and nostalgia from the most personal of instruments. Here he plays harmonica exclusively, foregoing guitar and whistling to concentrate on his unique ability to execute sophisticated jazz lines on the tiny instrument. He's joined by pianist Kenny Werner, a regular duo partner who's attuned to Thielemans's every nuance and impulse. They explore a moving collection of melodies that ranges from Bach's "Sicilienne" to medleys of songs associated with Sinatra, Michel Legrand, and Disney. When Werner turns to electronic keyboards, as on Bill Evans's luminously reflective "Time Remembered," he's able to provide a surprisingly lush "string" backdrop to support Thielemans's lyric rapture. Werner's also an excellent soloist in his own right, and it shows particularly in the tunes by distinguished modern pianists, like the Evans medley, Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance," and Chick Corea's "Windows." --Stuart Broomer

4.0 out of 5 stars Romantic Jazz, November 16, 2004
By Jazzcat "stef" (Genoa, Italy Italy) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Extraordinary music is what is contained in this disc. That's for sure. But be aware that it is a romantic and intense ballad program the one contained here that's why I gave this cd only four stars. It could be a little heavy if you listen to it from its beginning to its end. But nevertheless this compact disc could easily be considered an extraordinary achievement. Toots Thielemans is truly one of the few Jazz greats still alive and well. I love him. He plays fantastic sublime melodic lines with his harmonica which has an unbelievable tender sound. No one on Earth plays the harmonica the way he does. He's unbelievable. I have several Toots's records where he improvises on fast tunes and he can blow every musician away. He's unbelievable. But here he choose a ballad program. Ballads which he plays with incredible tenderness and romanticism at a level only he can reach. The harmonica is the only instrument he plays here. Infact he's a very good bop guitarist (and an exceptional whistler too) but here he did concentrate only on the harmonica thing. This is a duo album so it is very intimate in its atmosphere. Toots's pal here is Kenny Werner a really gifted piano player which is a perfect companion for Toots in this ballad program. He plays grand piano but also a few keyboards here and there to add strings section. He improvise too obviously in a very nice manner ... the two seem telepatically linked. Really. A really strong album which to me has the only minus to be a strictly ballad one. With a bass player and a drummer and few fast tunes could be unreachable. But yes, you're right, that would be completly another project. For example recently I purchased "Just friends" another Toots album which is really really great. It is a collaboration between him Teupen and Kuhn. It is a more interesting program in my opinion and the line up is more entertaining too. Harp, harmonica, piano, doublebass and drums. The music is fantastic like in this cd but a little more varied .. Another fantastic one from Toots is "Live takes" which is on Amazon too. Anyway I enjoy this one very much too, don't get me wrong, maybe some tunes of it at a time. I'm not THAT romantic!! Just Joking! Toots rules !!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a Toots fan you'll like it, November 16, 2003
By steve (Boston) - See all my reviews
It is a wonderful soulful album, but would have been better if Kenny Werner played acoustic piano exclusively instead of synths on some tracks. There is another review of this album on the web which stated the same and I agree. Soft and soulful, I found it to be quite inspirational, since I enjoy playing the chromatic harmonica as a hobby. Toots has many imitators but he is the only one, and has stood the test of time. Blues fans might want to look elsewhere for their harmonica, e.g. Paul Delay.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cure for insomnia, November 3, 2006
By Sharon M. (Clinton, CT United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Listening to these great artists perform together is a treat, of course, but for me there was too little variety in the selections. I've learned to play this CD in installments; otherwise I get either depressed or sleepy. If you're hoping for either, this could be the CD for you. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere in Warner's and Thielemans' repertoires.
