The tunes ranges from a smooth and easy 'I Can’t Get started' to an easy-beat 'Whispering' with a rollicking 'O Susannah' thrown in good measure. Here are Toots and his friends, a small group of close-knit musicians playing with and for each other. The second album in this compilation, “Heart and Soul” is a dramatic and heartwarming showcase for Tony Mottola’s talent. Here are songs of the heart, played with soul and captured with fabulous sensitivity from the most breathless whisper of the classical guitar, through the strongest chords of the amplified Gibson Guitar. The name of Tony Mottola stands for the finest musicianship and interpretative warmth. Tracklisting: 01. O Susannah (Traditional) 2:40 02. Please Send Me Someone to Love (Percy Mayfield) 3:43 03.

Fortunately, the considerable talent on this session means that at least some of the solos by Thielemans and his associates (including Dick Hyman, Gene Bertoncini, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Herbie Hancock, among others) makes the session hold up better than most of those done for the label. Thielemans is particularly aggressive on harmonica on "I Can't Get Started" and switches to a country-flavored approach on guitar for the old folk tune "O Susannah." The tracks with organ, rather than piano, haven't held up as well, though Thielemans' consistently high level of playing make this hard to find LP worth acquiring." Ken Dryden -All Music Guide
