Honestly, It doesn't get any better than this. Masterful Chromatic Harmonica and Guitar. Sublime.

[@Drewster58]

On second listenings I have to say “Oh hell yeah!” What amazing interplay.

La buena semilla y que sigue fructificando, desde Toots Thielemans ;-)

Excellent !

I have to say, this song and Skylark have to be two of my favourites. I used to teach a ballet class to adults and I used the version Toots made on a Quincy Jones album and it was so lovely to leap across the room in this quick waltz. And I loved the concert you played in Milford a few weeks ago. Very inspiring guitar playing and you obviously love what you do! Thank you both!

[@guitarlots]

Exquisitely performed with masterful technique ... bravo

[@ScottAlbertJohnson]

great stuff. william is my favorite chromatic player along with Stevie Wonder, and he's a big influence on my own playing even though I play the diatonic.

[@My2be4u]

William ! I love you brother! Toots is smiling! Thanks for gravitating such great musicians to play with you. Wonderful playing Sean :)

[@pierrechaouat]

Not a so-easy job to play Bluesette after Toots Thielemans. But the two artist alchemy does the magic

[@johnmyers5315]

Awesome and classic and at Birdland to boot :)

[@ajfedor]

Many years ago, Bill and I were among the weekend jammers at Arturo's Restaurant on Houston Street in Manhattan. I was on diatonic harmonica and he of course on chrom. So glad we have reconnected on Facebook. This is, of course, superb from both musicians.
