5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazingly listenable album from Claude Bolling, October 3, 2002

By	Catherine S. Vodrey (East Liverpool, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I stand in awe of Claude Bolling's amazingly inventive musical talents. Not only does he compose the most astonishing music--a delicious cross of classical structure and jazz loosey-gooseyness--but he gets folks like flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal, guitarist Alexandre Lagoya, bassist Pierre-Yves Sorin, and many others to join him in recording these pieces. On "Suite for Flute & Jazz Piano Trio No. 2," Bolling is up to his usual high-jinks, which is to say he's in fine form.

"Amoureuse" is a lush ballad, opening with contemplative piano work by Bolling and gradually adding in Rampal's impeccable flute. It's a song you'd want to be kissed to if you were starring in a romantic film. "Entr'Amis" is a saucy, sassy prance of a song, flute and piano winking at each other throughout. "Vagabonde" opens with the most gorgeous fuguelike piano work--it sounds as though J. S. Bach might have composed it after a stein or two of good German beer. "Intime" is a pretty, quiet little song with an in-joke of a title (it means "intimate" in French, but you could also read it as a clue to the pace of it, as in the instruments staying "in time" with each other). "Jazzy" is a vigorous cartwheel of a song with a frenetic pace--it's positively dazzling. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bolling Spreads His Wings, October 16, 2003

By	Avid Reader (Franklin, Tn) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

With this, the second in a series of jazz-classical fusion collections, Bolling has reached new heights. Every single piece is refreshingly original - no repeats are duds in this collection.

The style and expression are both freer and more intense - indeed this seems more "musical" in many ways. Once again it is almost impossible to select a "favorite" although JAZZY and AMOURESE are two that stand out. The sound is sheer perfection but it is the inventive aspect of the series that makes this collection shine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flute and Jazz Piano, October 27, 2001

By	Judy Rich (Phx, AZ) - See all my reviews

I had this tape years ago and loved it! I hear the music from it on all kinds of shows as background music. It's really upbeat and fun.
