5.0 out of 5 stars The Flute at its Best, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio: Score & Parts (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mandatory piece for the serious flutist, August 16, 2006

I consider this piece a mandatory one in the repertoire of any serious flutist, as it is perhaps one of the first examples of "crossover" music between classical and jazz styles. The recording itself was a platinum record during the 1970's. The recording is still available so that the written music can be followed easily, and if you are fortunate enough to have a good pianist to follow, you will find the music fun and not so difficult to play, if you are an intermediate or advanced flutist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly perfect transcription!, January 7, 2005

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!
