Bluesette

Bluesette is a jazz standard composed by Belgian jazz harmonica player and guitarist Jean "Toots" Thielemans. It is known for its distinctive waltz-time signature (3/4) and its memorable, whistled melody.

The tune was originally released in 1962 on Thielemans' album "The Whistler and His Guitar." While primarily recognized as a jazz standard, its accessible melody and gentle swing have made it popular across a range of musical genres. It is often played by both amateur and professional musicians.

"Bluesette" features a chord progression that borrows from both blues and jazz harmonies, resulting in a sound that is both familiar and unique. Its characteristic whistling melody is frequently imitated, and the tune has been covered by numerous artists, solidifying its place in the jazz repertoire. The song's title might suggest a blues composition, but its lighthearted feel and waltz tempo set it apart from more traditional blues forms.
