Since its formation in 1982 the Salomon String Quartet has established its position as one of the world's leading ensembles specialising in the historical performance of the classical string quartet repertoire. The quartet has toured extensively in Europe, the USA, the Far East, Israel and Australia as well as making regular appearances at British music societies and festivals. It has made many records for Hyperion and given numerous radio and television broadcasts. In addition to the music of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, which forms the basis of its repertoire, the Salomon Quartet has always been committed to the exploration and performance of the wealth of quartet music written by their contemporaries.

Early work from Toots Thielemans from 1964 containing his hit “Bluesette” which launched his career, focusing on his trademark guitar & whistling style on this LP. Additional players are Dick Hyman on organ, Arnold Fishkind on bass and Sol Gubin and Don Lamond on drums.
