Two of my dearest and best jazz artists of all times. Rest in peace Bill and Toots !

[@michelcouzijn5862]

The great mouth organ player Toots Thielemans has just died. We ought to be thankful for his artistry, incomparable as anyone can hear on this superb track.

[@EdgarSiscar]

My deepest condolences and sincerest sympathies to the family, friends and kin of the late Toots Thielemans. We are all in mourning... Fly high and fly home, Toots. God bless you and your beautiful soul. Thank you for all the wonderful music!

[@mogenscamre3762]

[@BenveBass]

Amazing version! Bill Evans is the best, and Marc Johnson is really enjoying the walking!

[@paulcullen7156]

Outstanding musicianship by these two immortals. Virtuosity and perfection.

[@jodi183]

This is an incredible version. Lovely. However, I'm particular to the bass, and it is my strongest opinion that this one of the best bass performances for this song. Johnson's groove, voice leading, rhythmic and harmonic phrasing, intonation and tone is a delight.

[@hamiltonmays4256]

I agree wholeheartedly, except in one respect. The tone has more bite in the mid-range than I'm used to hearing, and I'm enjoying the clarity and definition immensely. However, I think this sounds more like Eddie Gomez than Marc Johnson. J-basses are great; I should get one sometime. I might just skip the knife part, though; how would that help the sound?

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

use the neck pick up?

[@eugene-d]

Agree with no exceptions.

[@musamor75]

jbassmesser183 It takes one to know one, eh?

[@zelator29]

The definitive version of this awesome jazz waltz. In addition to Toots on the harmonica and Bill Evans on the piano, the chunky bass lines and phrasing by Marc Johnson are fat and funky and really set the tone of the song. Look for the amazing cluster harmonies in the piano lines, along with multiple moving phrases and arpeggios, switching hands and voices effortlessly. Drums are crisp and simple. A virtually perfect performance.

[@toddsaedify]

reminds me of late fifites and early sixties, when real life, class, taste, romance, social contracts, soul, caring, and more flourished

[@tomvalveede6808]

Boy, did you get that right! The harmonica represents the lonely soul in the big city. One of my favorite songs!

[@tomvalveede6808]

A Sophisticated, sexy, night life, also!!

[@nickvledder]

Recorded on the former sea-floor of The Netherlands. In the Meerkoet, Lelystad. Late seventies, I assume. Years of hope and belief in a make-able future.

[@The22on]

Tom Valveede great image

[@tomvalveede6808]

@@The22on Thanks for the compliment! Stay safe!

[@thomasheaney4235]

Truly an extraordinary performance of Bluesette! Bass playing transports the performance in completely unexpected and delightful ways. Wow🎉

[@zoranmihajlovski1559]

Become unsatiable getting this piece on loop day by day.. not able to decide what to enjoy more: Bill's aristocratic mastery on piano, Toots' soulful phrasing.. maybe Marc Johnson's vibrant backing, one of his best works I have ever heard.. or maybe secret lays in this beautiful Toots tune itself? One of rare moments when just everything settles the way Lord must have been dreaming about, while creating jazz. True masterpiece..

[@Bobbotov]

I never saw Evans live unfortunately but I did have the chance to see Toots Thielmans. What an amazing musician and the most amazing thing was he was a chromatic harmonica player who had a serious asthma condition. He also wasn't too shabby on the guitar. And a delightful human being to boot.

[@jlucguitar]

Toots et Bill Evans en session quelle découverte !!!!!! quelle finesse de jeu dans l'ensemble avec une force mélodique et de groove supeeeerrr !!!!

[@catherinestora6213]

Absolument. Le top, le pied, ze bonheur.

[@americogomez6435]

Bill Evans: a GENIUS.

[@DokterKattenbakvulling]

what a beautiful melody that is.

[@claudiabranch9393]

I have heard this song all my life and never knew the name. I Love It. Make you feel so Care Free.

[@WilliamSCherrynews24]

I had a number of LPs featuring the Great Toots Thielmans. His mastery was extraordinary.

[@franguccio1]

Two of the greatest at their instruments collaborating.......what could be better?

[@amarvida1]

Bluesette is such a perfect music that it would be possible to improvise endlessly :-)

[@catherinestora6213]

Endlessly indeed.😊💖😋

[@jerylbarginear8922]

The harmonies of this tune has always delighted me. Bright, colorful, resounding , reverberating, cycle of fourths. Toots, played with any and everybody. A true treasure. His likeness does not pass this way often.

[@VicenteLHaro]

Más que excelente, no conocía ésta versión con el desaparecido Bill Evans. Felicidades, es un deleite escucharla. Gracias !!!!!

[@alexvaxmanga]

Great and beautiful music 👍

[@gregbailey9121]

Greatness comes along only once are twice ki in your lifetime .Toots you are the greatest players ever. You make other players bring they AAA sound .

[@adamrafferty]

Does everyone also know that Toots was an amazing guitarist AND whistler? Check him out!

[@MrPuros]

Correct me if I am wrong but the original version of Bluesette was played on guitar.

[@leonardhudson3810]

Guitar and whistling.

[@anaalban8836]

Genios. Qué agradable música. Alimenta el alma.

[@exjazzbassbaz]

two of the greatest jazz players of alltime.both my particular favorites.marc Johnson aint bad either Christ some solo that was.many thanks.

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Is this a Zen koan thing where since only sequencers are truly spot on it is a matter of one's approach to life, or is it just this ass thinks the rhythm sections sucks.... I do not know really intent is so hard to get over the internet

[@vincentfranklin17]

Love the jazzy, waltzy feel this tune creates!

[@walchum]

amazing version of this song with Bill Evans , BUT u guys have to remember that this was composed by ´Toots´ Thielemans himself....what a feeling..!.

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Yeah but I never heard this tune get amazing until Mr Evans started his solo

[@abelvasquez5776]

very good, this song made me feel ¡¡Amazing!!.

[@rwkenyon]

Jean-Baptiste Frédéric Isidor, Baron Thielemans (29 April 1922 - 22 August 2016) was another jazz nonagenarian. He died at age 94. He wrote Bluesette.

[@faustotommasina3675]

[@annalisa14]

Bill Evans passed on September 15, 1982. I was with his adoring piano fill man, who played the same club when Bill was not there. What a sad day.

[@hmlarrain]

It was at Montmartre Hus in Copenhagen. We waited to hear his performance. Then the owner of the Club, "Danmarks Kaj", announced that Bill was at the Hotel there but not feeling so good and cancelled the presentation. Evans died that week.

I'm with YOU, Nereo. This thing has been with us since 1962. (Fifty~four YEARS). And there's STILL nothing~else like it. I mean, i like 'the Stones' as much~as anyone else...(but 'Honky~Tonk Woman' just doesn't do~it for me.)

For all that is holy, how could their be any down votes on this performance? Small minds never fail to amaze.

[@toddsaedify]

thanks God

[@warrendoris9669]

Toots lives!

[@LeftofLife]

Perfect

[@musamor75]

Gorgeous, beautiful, and everything else, but why on earth does my beloved Bill hike up the tempo to an insane up tempo, after Toots has just exposed the lovely, cool, layback tempo??? Bill does this often. It brings the piece to a sort of hysteric crescendo. The solos loose their intonation, and become practised scales and arpeggios. Evans is still a god to me, but I wish he'd sometimes just keep the tempo.

[@musamor75]

168 to star, then speeding up to over 208 (probably 216, 220). No reason at all.

[@Robert63675]

It's official. You're more likely to win the lottery than see "Thielemans" spelled correctly.

[@davidbono3034]

what does this rant about injustice have to do with the music?

[@helioaraujosilva1583]

When in the future for their grandchildren in GOOGLE search. They will ask you: - Oh! Grandpa, why do not you realize that slow extermination of the Indians? And your conscience will feel bitter taste to know that the Indians for over 500 years has suffered injustice, violence and oppression and other brutalities. Brazil today, has become an example of democracy in Latin America. But this scourge persists.

[@noahvale939]

Why don't you find a more appropriate soap box to orate from. You are probably correct in your opinion, but you have brought in to the wrong place.

[@skyshipmusic363]

The bass is too hot in the mix. Toots should have equal billing with Bill Evans.

[@tdeecy]

No they won't. They will ask why some people insist on introducing politics into what is supposed to be a musical experience. And they will conclude that the people who did ARE MORONS!

[@toddsaedify]

Coltrane, Miles, Ornette Colema , Parker, Mingus and many others had political underpinnings, the black experience, what does this contrived judgmental slam try to prove and name callers are always projecting the names that fit them, like tRumpkin Rumpkin does
