Summary: Thielmans Brazil Project I
Comment: I love both the harmonic playing of Thielmans and Brazilian jazz. So combined one would expect something interesting. This album is good but he does a much better job in II, his second Brasil Project album; This first project drags a bit in comparison and does not have the same energy. But still good listening.

Summary: Toot Sweet
Comment: Toots is down in 'smile a mile wide' cruise zone here, with the soul-stirring sounds of Brazil's finest muso's-vocalists coming along for a ride you are bound to regret ending. Stellar line-ups 'to die for' sometimes misfire, but not on this album. It's sweet as Amazonian honey. Granted, no radical boundary pushing found here, but don't hold the civilised, comfortable tone against it. The sound is impeccably balanced, light and sensual. So harmonically tasteful it's bound to make you turn the lights down low and.... ooh la la. Life is better than good with Toots and the Gang in fine, serenade form.

Summary: Toots Thielemans Explores Brazilian Jazz!!!
Comment: Toots Thielemans has been the leading harmonica player in Jazz music for over 50 years. With this CD, he explores Brazilian Jazz and makes it sound like it was created just for him. On this recording he has gathered some outstanding Brazilian Jazz musicians and let them do their thing while he adds his always splendid harmonica playing to the project. With the exception of his signature piece "Bluesette", all of the songs are Brazilian Jazz pieces and they are arranged beautifully. If you are a fan of Brazilian Jazz I think that this recording will surprise and delight you. If you're a Toots fan, you won't be surprised, just delighted.

Summary: Brazilian Jazz with Harmonica * * * *
Comment: This is a fantastic album putting together some of the best Brazilian composers since Tom Jobim with the Great Toots on Harmonica, the only great composer he missed from Brazil? Joáo Donato and that is unforgivable. Other than that, it is a Must-Have Collection.

Summary: Best rendition of ..
Comment: Bluesette, no other rendition can beat this version - in my opinion. Many other tracks were very very good. One track impressed me very much sounded like a paloma blanca soaring over a white mission tower in a hot summer day, made me think of leisure, freedom,tranquility, and joy.Never thought that harmonic can make wonderful music like this album did.
