Although he plays guitar exclusively on two of the eight selections included on this CD reissue, it is
Toots Thielemans' harmonica playing that is most unique. He holds his own on a hard bop blowing date with baritonist
Pepper Adams, pianist
Kenny Drew, bassist
Wilbur Ware and drummer
Art Taylor, jamming on such songs as "East of the Sun," "Struttin' with Some Barbeque" and "Isn't It Romantic." Even four decades later, no jazz harmonica player has dethroned the great
Toots.
