ne me quitte pas - Toots Thielemans & Fred Hersch

[@highphlyer]

No one else could get more more emotional sound out of a harmonica than Toots! R.I.P.

[@empress812]

I have never heard a harmonica played like that. This was truly divine!

[@thomassmile]

it takes a belgian guy to understand another belgian guy that well ! :p Toots Thielemans and Jacques Brel are amongst our national treasures

[@abdullahibnal-ikr-al-muham3835]

Possibly the greatest interpretation of the song... This needs no words to it. The dialogue between the piano and the harmonica alone peaks of tremendeous sadness.

[@francinehodru9600]

Merci pour ce moment de douceur et de belgitude (melancolie à la belge) reunissant ces deux grands artistes

[@michelmarseille9641]

Un grand moment pour se souvenir de lui

[@musicartgeek]

What a combination! RIP Toots

[@richardvandenberg6379]

Toots is still the best.

[@mickbott9041]

So long Toots. Going to miss you.

[@elisehabette9772]

Super notre célèbre Toots. ❤️

[@THEKECHEXPERIENCE]

EMOTION!

[@jazztemple2]

One of the most beautiful duets I have ever heard.

[@bettygrimm7088]

Saw him in Chg. yrs. ago at the Blue note--we flirted. His sound was so beautiful--a HARMONICA, for God's sake.

[@sereine4]

Mais quel artiste !!!! Heureusement, il a eu une très belle et longue vie ...Mais il va manquer terriblement ...

[@danithom]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@MrBobaloo22]

WOW WOW WOW WOW --@Lili Sadeli, I understand your sentiment ("Don't Let Him Die") -- When Benny Goodman passed on, I heard someone say (don't remember who), "Alright, everybody move up one" (i.e., there's an open chair at the very top/front of the line) -- but of course, no one can fill his shoes -- so very very lovely and intimate, with just the right amount of sadness!!! So thankful that this one was posted.

[@philippemai5770]

adieu, ami, qui embellissait le monde. ❤

[@waskyper8]

[@vanhoves1]

слушали Вас с друзьями из России, поехали специально в Турнхаут...Вас вывели под руки...а потом...юный, великолепный брюссельский мальчишка с гармоникой! Вы теперь идёте по той дороге, где навстречу Вам - Тонино Гуэрра - браво, Маэстро !

[@iamaweasel]

Toots, could really, really toot. I always keep a harmonica in my pocket. Can't play it to save my life. RIP Thielmanns

[@ElizabethGS]

@bursk89 I believe Toots plays a 14 hole instrument. I only have a 12 hole in front of me. On a 12 his first note is 4 draw. 4-4-(slide in 4-)4-4-; 4-4-(slide in4-)4-4-;3-3-4-3-3-;3-3-4-3-3-, you should be able to figure out most of the rest of it from that...(it's how I just did). :) Just sit here with your instrument and keep replaying the video...play along with him. Let your ears tell you where the notes are. It's a great ear-training exercise.

[@ovalie38]

Toots ! Un très grand Monsieur. Un très grand Monsieur que je respecte profondément. J'aime quelques jazz. Pas tous je dois l'admettre. J'assume. Mais Toots, c'est vraiment quelqu'un. J'adore Steve Gadd. Il me semble que Toots a joué avec lui à un moment donné et j'en suis presque sûr. J'aurais vraiment aimé savoir quel est le titre de ce morceau. Merci d'avance.

@14monaros14 Shades of blue are still blue ;-)

[@harmonica4ever]

@ovalie38 Cherche simplement "stripes spyro gyra" sur youtube et tu trouvera la video (en fait juste une image de la pochette de l'album et la musique)

[@ElizabethGS]

@14monaros14 I think you have to realize the cadence of the song...the words 'ne-me-qui-tte-pas' fit the phrasing of the tune. 'Don't leave me' or even Do-not-lea-ve-me' doesn't work. So the English version was adapted/changed to 'If you go away' and rewritten to fit the tune and basically an entire new song created to suit the 'feeling' of the song and tune. It's been done before when an exact translation simply wouldn't sound 'right'. I'm assuming (hoping) Jacques Brel gave his approval?

[@2428steve]

Good job, you nailed it

[@bursk89]

i need this song's harmonica tabs

[@2428steve]

Fier om Belg te zijn, dit is Belgie...
