Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio

Rating:
Summary: Nearly perfect transcription!
Review: I bought this a few months ago and am about half way through learning the whole thing. I've owned the record/CD since 1974, so I was very familiar with the music , which I think helps. Claude Bolling's unique piano style can be imitated very easily once the songs are learned. There are some very difficult passages in these songs, so learning everything may take some time, but the challenge is worth it once you start to become familiar with them. The one relatively easy song, Irlandaise, can be learned fairly quickly if you've had any classical musical training. Overall, a great piece of music and worth every penny!

Summary: Melliflous music.
Review: I`ve just heard this music performed live in Thiviers France.
If you like jazz and classical you`ll like this.
It`s a sprinkling of Bach with a dusting of Jaques Loussier and a dash of Django and a soupcon of MJQ and a generous helping of Bolling. It`s lively, melodious and lyrical in turn.
I`m going to buy it.

Summary: The Flute at its Best
Review: This is a wonderful piece of music if you love the idea of playing jazz but do not know how to improvise. The jazz purests would condem music like this...not improvised, but it is good and absolutley fun to play. It is necessary to get a good jazz trio-(piano,bass and drums) to accompany the flute. The feel must be right so the flute can sound its best!
