Contrasts - Toot Thielemans

You Brought A New Kind Of Love To Me
Contrasts
The Provocative Musical Genius Of Toots Thielemans And His Orchestra
Originated and Produced by Loren Becker and Robert Byrne
Command Records RS 906 SD
1966

From the back cover: He (Thielemans) is a virtuoso guitarist with a brilliant style that is all his own... a composer (he wrote the unforgettable Bluesette) who bubbles with delightfully irresistible melodies... a pioneering master of the harmonica, creator of a superb jazz style ...a whistler who has turned this common, everyday practice into a full-fledged part of his musical arrangements.

This jacket is a single cover (the more typical Command jacket from this period is a book-fold style).

The content supports the title and cover theme. The album features more of an overall jazz vibe which is slightly different than much of what was coming out of Command at the time.
