  • @PhuckHue2

    he probably came in every state of the USA, so he knows better America then a regular american:) thx for the nice comment

    he is a legend

  • @sunno666 Very kind of you to fill me in! I love Toots (who doesn't?) and want to hear everything he plays - and says!

    Thanks fo much!

  • @landztranz and at the end of the interview he talks about young (jazz)talent in Belgium but also states that it is very hard for Belgian musicians to make it big, especially in Jazz because according to him, the US is still the place where there's still a larger jazz-scene. He mentions that he's probably the only one from belgium who actually got to do that. (i.e. perform in America).

    That's about it.

  • @landztranz don't know if you still wanna know. But he's talking about well jazz obviously. He describes it as a virus: 'you either have it or you don't' (when he's tapping his arm). He said that his infatuation with jazz started pretty late, only when he was about 20 years old. Before that he played the accordeon for his parents, mainly the popular tunes of that era. When he was 20 he bought his first record, Louis Armstrong and that's how it started, he says.

  • @PhuckHue2 i don't have to look him up, Mr. Phuck (or is it Mr. Hue?). As I said, I know him. I just want to understand what he says in this interview. Maybe someone can sum it up for me...?

  • @landztranz so sad. look him up in Wikipedia

  • @PhuckHue2 I'm American and I know him, but I don't understand him! Help!

  • neen rechtsbaaje, goede Belg. Zéker in Toots zijn geval.

  • Goede Vlaming :)
