Review by SOMBOK IT

Toots Thielemans' album, The Nearness Of You, is a beautiful collection of jazz standards that showcases the legendary harmonica player's virtuosity and musicality. The album features Thielemans' signature sound, which blends the warm, expressive tones of the harmonica with the smooth, sophisticated rhythms of jazz.

From the opening track, "The Nearness Of You," Thielemans' playing is both soulful and precise, conveying a deep emotional resonance that is characteristic of his style. The album also includes classic jazz standards like "What A Wonderful World" and "My Funny Valentine," which Thielemans interprets with a fresh, modern sensibility that is both respectful of the original compositions and uniquely his own.

Throughout the album, Thielemans is joined by a talented ensemble of musicians, including pianist Fred Hersch, bassist Marc Johnson, and drummer Joey Baron, who provide a solid foundation for his improvisations and solos. The result is a rich, textured sound that is both dynamic and cohesive.
