Caught the DUKES at the French Quarter Festival in Jackson Square, best music we heard all weekend. You really have rejuvenated the creaky old DUKES. Very exciting session!SS, New Orleans, April 2011 21 June 2011

Just got home from the Seattle Pops where I first learned of the DUKE'S. What an unexpected delight. Truly world class musicians unpretentiously enjoying what they do very very well! And special thanks for 17 June 2011

You can't imagine Toots Thielemans in a bad mood. He is a man who is completely content with his life and work, and his personality reflects this joie de vivre almost as much as his music. He is quite simply the greatest, and probably the first, jazz harmonica player. Born in Brussels, Belgium, his first instrument was guitar, which he taught himself to play. In 1948, he journeyed to America and joined the George Shearing Quintet. He subsequently recorded with countless American jazz greats, including Sonny Rollins and Bill Evans. For this recording he surrounds himself with a surging rhythm section featuring Fred hersch, piano; Harvie Swartz, bass; and Adam Nussbaum, drums. Toot Thielemans in New Orleans was recorded for a live audience at Lulu White's Mahogany Hall on Bourbon Street, showing this great artist is top form.
