Toots Thielemans

I had the honnor to meet Toots Thielemans in Harmoliège festival in 2008, in Belgium. Everyone wanted to have a picture with him, so I had to take more than 100 ; but I didn't ask for one together with him, since I already received lots of big smiles ... The main important for me is this souvenir today of, a legend yes, BUT a Great Man, very simple and so nice and sweet to everyone... I didn't know which video to illustrate him, so I am choosing one with its most famous tune. Don't forget that Toots is a great guitar player before the harmonica, but so precious to harmonica than for us...

Today the 29th of April 2012 : VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Monsieur Thielemans !!!...

Toots Thielemans is also the Godfather of Croch'ASBL, the more active association of Harmonica in Belgium (which the creator is Emile Grégoire, next to him)...

Joan Pau Cumellas

Joan Pau is one of the Best Harmonica player from Spain and a very sweet guy ! Vidéos displaying him playing his instrument are quite rare... but here is one for you which may help you a lot to discover him ...In case you want to have him to your festival ... Every Year I spend one week with him and Greg Szlapczynski in Roses (Spain) for a great week of Workshop...
