Wilbur Ware

Notice how when Toots comes in on the harmonica, he swings it as if he's playing an alto sax or soprano sax, and not a harmonica.

After Toots harmonica, Kenny Drew comes in on piano for a solo, followed by a bass solo from Wilbur Ware.

It's much like a classic jazz quartet, but with the harmonica instead of a saxophone or trumpet.

Tillman's most well-known song is Bluesette.

Sometimes somebody's imagination will just strike you.

The first time I ever heard Wilbur Ware, I said, did he think of that it was so simple and yet it was so different you know and i remember when i used to have a recording player that would you could cut the speed down and i would play the 78s at 45 or like the 45s at 33 and you could if you played charlie parker At a slower speed, he sounded like a tenor player and you could remember the notes, you know, they didn't go by so fast.

There's always something, always something I love to say, the more you listen, the more you hear.

This music, I remember meeting McCoy Tyner and I asked him something and he said, do you play piano? I said, yes.
