I just found this. It's so beautiful it brought tears. Starts with Toots, his chromatic harmonica, and a metronome. He does a one twelve bar chorus plus a fraction more of a slow, vocalized blues. Then he joins the band and plays Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady". He owns this. After he's done, no one can tell you more.If you watched "Sesame Street" as a little one, Toots did the harmonica for that show's theme song. If you grew up and watched "Midnight Cowboy" he's the harmonica there also. He's on Billy Joel's "Leave A Tender Moment Alone".
