This is a fantastic crossover piece where jazz and classical music meet in a way like George Gershwin’s music had hinted before. Composed by Claude Bolling for the master of the flute Jean-Pierre Rampal in 1980.
Claude Bolling, a pianist, a composer, an arranger and a conductor of jazz, entertainment and film music, is certainly one of the world's most renowned French musicians of his generation.
He became very active in the jazz world and played in numerous concerts and recordings with the greatests: Rex Stewart, Buck Clayton, Lionel Hampton, Albert Nicholas,Roy Elridge... His friend, Boris Vian, took him in the new large recording studio where he was in charge of the jazz department. Claude orchestrated Boris Vian's first songs as an author and a singer, and recorded various themes for the "Chansons Possibles et Impossibles". The result was of such quality that Claude became "the" fashionable arranger for Sacha Distel, Jacqueline François, Juliet Gréco, Henri Salvador, Brigitte Bardot and many others.
As a result of his experience in various musical branches and of his work with the greatest classical musicians, Bolling created "Crossover Music", a new genre which mixes for the first time two different languages: classical and jazz, which were strictly separated up to then. The Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio, written for the great flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal, is one of his most popular Suites.
Following his work with Rampal, Bolling went on to work with many other musicians, from different genres, including guitarist Alexandre Lagoya, violinist Pinchas Zukerman, trumpeter Maurice André, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. He has also worked with, and performed tributes to many others, including Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Stéphane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, and Oscar Peterson.
The video is a live performance on April 2017 at the Esplanade Recital Studio in Singapore. It was such a pleasure to count with some of the most active and award winning musicians in Singapore.
