Summary: More great music
Comment: Bolling, Rampal, and friends pick up where they left off from their first amazing recording. All in all a great listening experience from an outstanding light jazz ensemble.

Summary: Genius of Bolling
Comment: It's "dangerous" for me to check out what's available at [...]. I discovered this 2nd volume of Bolling's Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by accident. Had to have it as I played the First Suite many years ago.
If you're not familiar with Bolling's style, try him.

Summary: Bolling's Greatest
Comment: The second suite is just as good as the first. My piano teacher got the music about 10 years ago. Jazzy, Entr'amis, and Espiegle are my favorites.

Summary: Bolling Spreads His Wings
Comment: 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.

Summary: Another amazingly listenable album from Claude Bolling
Comment: 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!
