Tracks list

Claude Bolling (born April 10, 1930), is a renowned French jazz pianist,
composer, arranger, and occasional actor.
He was born in Cannes, studied at the Nice Conservatory, then in Paris. A child
prodigy, by age 14 he was playing jazz piano professionally, with Lionel
Hampton, Roy Eldridge, and Kenny Clarke.
He has written music for over one hundred films, mostly French, starting with
the score for a 1957 documentary about the Cannes Film Festival, and including
the films Borsalino (1970), and California Suite (1979).
Bolling is also noted for a series of crossover collaborations with classical
musicians. His Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio with Jean-Pierre Rampal, a
clever and charming mix of Baroque elegance with modern swing, has been a top
seller for many years, and was followed up by other works in the same vein. It
was particularly popular in the United States, and it was at the top of the hit
parade for two years after its release.
Following his work with Rampal, Bolling went on to work with many other
musicians, from different genres, including Alexandre Lagoya, Pinchas Zukerman,
Maurice André, and Yo-Yo Ma. He has also worked with, and performed tributes
to many others, including Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Stéphane Grappelli,
Django Reinhardt, Oscar Peterson.
He is considered to be the father of modern jazz.
