Toots Thielemans Quartet (BE/US)
Even at the age of 87, Jean Toots Thielemans firmly stands on the
highest steps of the ladder of jazz. He still performs all over the
world and his characteristic and phenomenal mouth harmonica playing
is as powerful as ever. Artistically speaking, he is as always at
the top. Thielemans has received tribute upon tribute, these past
years. At the festival, he will perform with three famous
musicians. He will bring along soulmate Kenny Werner on the piano.
Bassist Scott Colley and drummer Antonio Sanchez will share the
stage with him as well. His latest album, titled One More for the
Road, was released in 2006 and is filled with duets with
contemporary jazz greats. He made a duo album with Werner in
2001.
