  • yes there are some wonderful players out there but this is the guvner toots.he impressed charlie parker way back at the start and has knocked everybody out since.ask quincey. his command of his instrument is awesome.he is responsible for bringing this little harp alongside the tenor...trumpet...trombone...e­tc...as a major frontline horn.toots is tops.many thanks.

  • Oh.. genius!

  • to answer risque, one of the very finest harmonica players in the world is a woman who presently lives in Sydney Australia. She is French. Her name is Christelle Berthon. check her out on youtube. Her version of Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder is absolutely top shelf complexity and difficulty. she's up there with Dennis Greunling and Jason Ricci as skilled harp players. dont miss her stuff.

  • Geweldige vent! Voor mij ongetwijfeld de grootste Belg!

  • @MrDeepthot Thanks so very much! Just got through watching the fabulous Big Mama Thornton in the 1960 jam session.

    One of the advantages of asking a stupid question is you do get educated. I love youtube.

  • @risqueclay Big Mama Thornton!!!

  • Toots' playing on Rogier van Otterloo's "Dat Mistige Rooie Beest" from the "Turks Fruit" soundtrack is the most haunting beautiful chrom harp sound ever.

  • Don't forget the violin or viola, also hard to play as jazz instrument.

  • play goddam.

    Yes..i agree about hermine deurloo, she's a great harmonica player..and, apart from her skills she's a very humble person, i've talked to her once...
