I guess I was listening to Toots since I was 4 years old. On Sesame Street. This collaboration with Pat is just so moving. Makes be proud to be a Belgian, so we are not just known for our beer. In Brussels I used to go to my grandparents house via a road called Aldoph Sax. Guess what he invented...
Toots is the absolute greatest soloist ever. There is no comparison. The loneliness and heartwarming sound he has. Pure nostalgia and good feelings come with his sound. It brings joy. Through all those years.
August 22, 2016. The great Toots Thielemans has made his final bow at age 94. Somehow this beautiful piece symbolizes that, with Pat's accomplished guitar playing..that although life is short, some things in life can live on... if only we could go Back in Time.. Toots, your haunting and soulful harmonic playing and themes gave us wonderful music through the years. Not only were you the composer of the great jazz standard Bluesette, but you added great some accompaniment to many many artists in your lifetime. RIP Mr. Toots Thielemans..thank you for your music and your recordings will live on forever in our hearts and minds. You did good!
The entire song is perfection. Pat's playing from 4:00-4:15 , so simple and elegant to bring it back to the "verse", just a master musician. Toots will always be missed.
I couldn’t agree more. I believe this song is maybe the closest thing to musical perfection I can imagine. Absolute purity of sound in every aspect of orchestration, harmonica and guitar…all blended perfectly together.
Hard to believe this didnt make the cut on the original album release...thank god they released the deluxe album or we may have never heard this great song
This is a special song, with the two master the old, the geniusToots,..and our Pat,..is really great to listen this song,...I goes to the old memories, remembered the past time, go to my heart and my soul,..thanks both for gift us this master piece,...
Sadly, the problem with music is precisely that it doesn't solve problems. In fact, I'd argue that a person, sufficiently damaged, would be unable to appreciate these works. Thus the cycle of suffering continues, manifested as a downward spiral throughout the generations.
@michael lyons it helped me in a way, I know it will inspire others to continue striving, hoping and making miracles. In your words to help the world when you listen to this obra maestra performed by two great musicians is definitely an understatement.
yes...still here is where periods find their resting places...the definitive most audacious possibilities of an art not to be perfected but loved till another comes to kiss the music to cry and laugh and mourn all that has passed and cheer what will be
Toots doesn't have to blow a single note to chase away the darkness---he lights up a room just by walking into the room and smiling----and Pat----he's one of a kind---he soars high above----I've dug this collaboration since "Secret Story" -wonderful!!!!!!!
Secret Story is one of my favorite Pat CDs...he had included a cut with Toots on the '92 release and re-released the CD in 2007 with additional cuts including this gem. Just brilliant....
This is just heart achingly beautiful and full of desire. Find your quiet place and enjoy this mastery of true artistic expression. This is without peer musical nuance. ❤️
August 24, 2017. It's been a year now sinceToots has passed on. The world misses his exquisite soulful compositions and playing style. While the world will see more harmonica players, there will never be another Toots Thielemans. We have to go "Back in Time" now to hear his legacy along with Pat Methany's great classical guitar. A great collaboration of two famous musicians.
Il grande Toots Thielemans ha eseguito il suo ultimo inchino all'età di 94 anni. In qualche modo questo bellissimo pezzo simboleggia il fatto che, con la brava chitarra di Pat ... che sebbene la vita sia breve, alcune cose nella vita possono sopravvivere ... se solo potessimo tornare indietro Tempo.. Toots, il tuo modo di suonare e i temi armonici ossessionanti e pieni di sentimento ci hanno dato musica meravigliosa nel corso degli anni. Non solo eri il compositore del grande Bluesette jazz standard, ma hai aggiunto un ottimo accompagnamento a molti artisti nella tua vita. RIP Mr. Toots Thielemans..grazie per la tua musica e le tue registrazioni vivranno per sempre nei nostri cuori e nelle nostre menti. Hai fatto la storia dell'armonica!
I grew op with Toots in my life. I am now 81 years old... He and Django and The Hot Club will never leave me,as well as the greatest jazz guitarist in current histories . Love you all .
Agreed. Toots I had the brief but telling pleasure of meeting You in person here in San Diego.Know that time will not dim your deeds. Your musicality genius and gracious evocative andcollaborative nature gave birth to a level of artistic beauty and permanence that will hip - hopand rock freaks inevitably. Fuck Rock !! Thank You, Toots. I am humbled and blessed for havingknown You and graced by your beautifully inspiring work bursting with poignant genius - John WinterSan Diego
Apart from writing some great film music, so much of Pat's music works in a film or video context. This is so beautiful, so many colours, could have been Morriconne...
Such auditory elegance on display. Its wonderful how these superb musicians speak to each other in muted tones and tell wonderful stories along the way. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This is one of the tracks from his album "Secret Story". Beautiful, haunting intro by Toots I noticed that Toots possibly played a couple of bars that sound like "When I fall in love'" in his intro. This is beautiful piece from both of these jazz masters. The nylon string, I believe Pat is playing, looks a bit the Linda Manzer "6" with a mic.
Awesome !! Toot : you are the greatest musician of ever !! I really think this thing ! And Pat is the greatest guitar player ... for my tastes ... I was inspired from him playing guitar !!!
May the 25th, 2014:) Dearest Zoltie, I still do remember that loveliest of days when I listened to this Music for the very first time, what an emotion, what an euphoria that catapulted me immediately to begin sharing it profusely to those I knew in those old days ( a year inhere is felt like a decade or maybe a century of emotional experience.Have You noticed it? )) proof is still in the early commentators from an acquaintance I had in Mx from him to Spain from Spain into Phillipines, also my darling musketeers from America and England : )) Well, we're still here and though many of our friends are now absent from our YT lives ( some have died, others moved out to alternate "virtual greener pastures", etc.) to those of us that we still lingered and remain becoming YT addicts or habituées to use the euphemism, it still thrills me very much to evoke those beautiful moments but most importantly in keeping alive those friendships like thine with which GOD has blessed us with. The bonding may be invisible but our brotherhood & sisterhood threads interweave, intertwine in a most dazzling embroidery splendent in its multicoloured fabric radiance : we do not paint and write only in sound & images but also with the infinite póesie of the vibrant colour of our souls. I LOVE THEE. I THANK THEE MY BEAUTIFUL BROTHER OF SWEET ESSENCE : RÉTI, ZOLT ° NAMASTE
I still cherish and smile within my heart at that specific time ( a little more than three years ago ) when I listened to the most soft, enthralling and ethereal heartfelt response between the soul of two musicians : PAT & TOOTS Thank You Philip Watson because it was in your faves that I watched and listened to this superior kind of Music and from then on I became totally converted into a serious fan, admirer and follower of my sensei Mr. Pat Metheny thank to God and my baratómi Zolti~Szerelem
very sublime indeed...mmmm...goes well with the afternoon cup of coffee...muchas gracias Ricardo por compartir..abrazos mi amigo * * * * * tootsthielman thanks for the post... peace

who said Toots was dead ? he just joined the immortals. I'm sure you understand me ;)
How I love your words, Supercarver2011!
👍🏻
The entire song is perfection. Pat's playing from 4:00-4:15 , so simple and elegant to bring it back to the "verse", just a master musician. Toots will always be missed.
How can a man do that with a toy?(I know it's not a toy) How? So much emotion & feeling. Sublime wonderfulness. From a harmonica.
I savor each and every note of this song. I just wish every person on the planet could hear and understand the beauty and love this song contains.
I couldn’t agree more. I believe this song is maybe the closest thing to musical perfection I can imagine. Absolute purity of sound in every aspect of orchestration, harmonica and guitar…all blended perfectly together.
Very true
Hard to believe this didnt make the cut on the original album release...thank god they released the deluxe album or we may have never heard this great song
Amen to that!

thank you pat and toots for all that you are and all that is in the essence of creativity
I miss Toots. What a legend!
L'harmonica de Toots Thielemans nous transporte dans un espace de nostalgie et d'émotions proche des larmes .!
Music played by artists like this would solve most of the problems in the world
At least one would think.
Sadly, the problem with music is precisely that it doesn't solve problems. In fact, I'd argue that a person, sufficiently damaged, would be unable to appreciate these works. Thus the cycle of suffering continues, manifested as a downward spiral throughout the generations.
MORE & Given WIDER Exposure, then I would agree! Music is the UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE!! No Translator/Interpreter Required!!!

I cannot explain, it is indescribable --the LOVE I feel for mankind every time Pat plays ---and with Toots, life would never end.
Toots doesn't have to blow a single note to chase away the darkness---he lights up a room just by walking into the room and smiling----and Pat----he's one of a kind---he soars high above----I've dug this collaboration since "Secret Story" -wonderful!!!!!!!
A spiritual experience every time I listen. How it wasn't on the original album I'll never understand......

Methany's great classical guitar. A great collaboration of two famous musicians.
BRAVISSIMO.....
If there's music in Heaven this is surely it. Two musical virtuosos!
Listening to this...chills running up and down my entire body! Love you Toots...where ever you may be my friend.

estos dos grandes musicos. uno con la armonica y el otro con la guitarra. son unos monstruos de la musica.

god bless you. you have been blessed to hear such beautiful music along the way
We will miss you, Toots!
People will be listening to and looking at Pat Metheny music for many years to come.
The sound of bittersweet, joyful, eternally warm feelings. Thank you. I needed this.
A masterpiece that will live forever...
Those two are just beyond words incredible.
RIP Toots, you are magnificent.
Awesome talent!
Achingly beautiful. I enjoyed every minute!
So many layers of color, shade and depth of emotion in this music collaboration between these 2 masters, Pat Metheny & Jean (Toots) Thielemans
Agreed. Toots I had the brief but telling pleasure of meeting You in person here in San Diego.Know that time will not dim your deeds.

God's gift from the heavens.Heart felt music that touches your heart and soul.
such a beautiful piece of music 🥰 RIP Toots 🙏🏻✝️🌈
Is this real? How come there can be so much beauty touching our simple souls out of guitar chords and whistles?
Thank you for beeing who you are...
Apart from writing some great film music, so much of Pat's music works in a film or video context. This is so beautiful, so many colours, could have been Morriconne...
Truth....
Even the most hurtful things become nothing peculiar after a amount of time has passed.. Thank you for sharing!

Wrong, again... you're the third 1. Secret Story "deluxe" edition
ça fait de 40 min. que j'écoute ce morceau en boucle...je nage en plein ds le bonheur. MERCI
Music is the reflection of Toots soul! A great human being! R.I.P. mon ami!

Tu seduto su una nuvole con due angeli a suonare la tua armonica.... riposa in pace 😊
alwais for ever Toots......
Hi Dear Glaucia Carvalho!
I read that you miss me : ) Thanks!
I'm here! : )
Many kisses to you!
Thanks
Magnificent... thank you !!!
I just heard this on facebook and decided to research it. The song is from Pat's "Secret Story" CD (the 2-disc deluxe 'collectors' edition).
Actually, it's from a "deluxe" edition of Secret Story. I have had the original cd since '92. It is not on it and it is a single disc...
BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLL MASTERPIECE
Il mio brano preferito con la mia Cromatica!!
listen to the melody, cuz your love is in there hiding....Thanks Toots
