“Bluesette” became a commercial commodity for Toots later in his career and good for him. There’s nothing glamorous about the “starving” part of being a musician. It’s wonderful to have a few schimolies in your pocket with which to buy food and pay the rent. This track was cut before all that happened. Check out the amazing lines that Toots lays down in unison with a guitar while whistling! Are you kiddin me?! I can’t even hold a guitar pick without dropping it.
