Heard a version of La Vie En Rose by Toots Thielemans and Diana Krall on KPLU public radio this morning. Don't normally go for the harmonica sound but Toots plays it like a jazz saxophone/trumpet type thing. Amazing melody and vocal (in French). I guess the original version is by Edith Piaf. I placed a hold at my local book collective. Looks like Louis Armstrong may have done an English version.
