Their Toots project (Thielemans not Maytals!) looks very interesting.

Yes. A Toots Thielemans tribute band!
Phil Hopkins is a great harmonica player.
I presume that you’ve heard the album that Toots recorded with the great Elis Regina here in Stockholm, @Mike_H.
It is superb! She never sounded better!
An excellent call! Playing it right now.
I’m delighted to have introduced that to you, @Mike_H.
It’s easy to presume that because I like something a lot, everyone else has heard of it.
I thought I’d watched some live footage of the two of them together but can’t find it any more.
Coincidentally, a good friend of mine tweeted recently that this was the best music clip ever:
Elis Regina & Tom Jobim – Aguas de Marco
I would not argue with you about that, @Alias!
Here’s an article from the L A Times about how that recording session came to be.

L A was the home to quite a few ex-pat Brazilians, not least Sergio Mendez. The climate was more appealing than the East Coast.
