Nifty Snooky and Toots

NEA Jazz Masters Moments has added some new, nifty moments with trumpeter Snooky Young and the Belgian harmonicat, Toots Thielmans. There are multiple Young moments to choose from -- I like "Snooky Young Gives Advice to Aspiring Players", "Snooky Young's Run-in with the Law" is bittersweet.

Toots Thielemans introduces the birth of his big hit, with "Toots Thielmans on Composing "Bluesette" and talks about his cardboard start on "Toots Thielmans on his Musical Upbringing"

As with the other NEA Jazzmoments I've previously recommended, each can serve your listeners and station in a variety of ways -- and each creates joy in some small way.
