Toots for president

Great! The tune is Tenor madness from Sonny Rollins.

[ProfRaccoon]

To become as fluent and fast as Toots, I have to practise at least 200 years, but I keep on playing my hard bopper hohner :-). Toots plays every note perfectly here, great recording!

[Sulitariu]

Le top.

Bravo.

@ravelfan88 agreed 100% I don't know if the airflow is reversed by the diaphragm or if it's a tounge technique for fast passages.... I have a Hohner Super 64 - I know how it works and I did some fair amount of practising (I am a pianist/keyboarder/arranger etc.) - just to find out that it is a waste of time. I will end up mediocre at the most. I leave that to the greats like Toots.

@gitarische Don't listen to those naysayers. The chromatic Harmonica is an excellent lead instrument - if played by total genuises like Toots or Stevie it is every bit as expressive and soulful as it gets.
