Toots died this morning, at the age of 94.
As a former Rickenbacker endorser, maybe not associated with that anymore, still an important link in RIC history and a great musician.
RIP Jean 'Toots' Thielemans (94)

Thanks Wim. So very sorry to hear this. I know he is in playing a Rickenbacker in Heaven.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Very sad news. He had agreat life for the music. As a harp player his name for me was more connected with this instrument than a Rick player. A fine tone and a good taste and feeling one of the "giants" has left us. Rest in peace, Toots!

Thanks john. This is such a magnificent performance. The little instrument with the big footprint. Very moving.
