Where's this, Cyril? A tree-lined avenue called Lange Voorhout in The Hague...

We have an early spring.

It's possible at age 91... In recent years, Thielemans had to cope with failing health but he refused to let this put him off and in 2012 he played a concert in Brussels to mark his 90th birthday before setting out on a tour which took him to Japan and the US.

Today, 12 March 2014, Thielemans cancelled all upcoming concerts and announced the end of his musical career. He's 91. His manager states Thielemans "wants to enjoy the rest he deserves". In 2012, the Jazz at Lincoln Center concerts in New York celebrated his 90th birthday with Herbie Hancock, Eliane Elias, Kenny Werner, Marc Johnson, Oscar Castro-Neves, and Dori Caymmi. He performed for the occasion and left the stage standing among his friends.... The legendary Thielemans played with greats such as Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Charlie Parker and Ella Fitzgerald. Thielemans was also a regular guest at major jazz festivals and played several times at the North Sea Jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_UlWWSF-FM Website: http://www.tootsthielemans.com
