5.0 out of 5 stars Jazz classical fusion...wow, March 15, 2002

Bolling, while being a beast on jazz piano, is best know for his compositional skills. Listen to this album and you'll know why. Each piece has it's own distinct style, but all have that amazing jazz groove without being pure jazz. In addition, Maurice Andre is considered to be the greatest classical trumpeter of all time, and this album shows off his many skills, from the mellow flugelhorn to his brilliant pic trumpet work, he is a master of all styles. Jazz fans, pianists and trumpeters will love this album, as well as classical buffs looking for something different. Truly great stuff here.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Master album from the absolute Master, March 6, 2004

I bought this album on record when it first came and out and it was never off my system. The playing is superb by all, very tight in the accompaniments. I have over 40 CD recordings of Maurice Andre and this rates as one of his best.
His playing is unsurpassed in my mind he seems to have the right style for everything he plays and his sound is just beautiful. If anyone wants a lesson in trumpet playing listen to this or any of his other brilliant recordings (the Hummel with the Berlin Phil is stunning).

Anyone who loves trumpet, jazz piano, or just plain jazz will love this CD. Composer/pianist Claude Bolling has the ability to write great melodies that you'll find yourself playing over and over in your mind. You just can't have a bad time listening to this CD. Maurice Andre is right on target, giving listeners a good sampling of trumpet colors (C trumpet, Eb trumpet, cornet, piccolo trumpet, flugelhorn). The musicians sound like they are having a great time playing, and they play expertly. Give this one a try.
