A Masterful Mixed-Genre Marriage .......2007-07-06

While digging through some of my old cassettes today for something I hadn't heard in a while, I uncovered Bolling: Suite For Flute and Jazz Piano Trio. I bought it on a whim back when it was first released and I vaguely remembered liking it, so I thought why not play this? Well, after listening I was very sorry that I had forgotten how good it is!
Though the album is far too short, jazz pianist Claude Bolling and flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal make this suite a sweet one indeed. Though I have my favorites, there is not a single cut that is not worth hearing over and over. You might say that Bolling and Rampal have entered a masterful mixed-genre marriage. My favorite cuts are Sentimentale, Javanaise, Versatile, and Veloce.
As another reviewer said, this recording is the perfect one to pop in on any day you need your spirits lifted. Even if you are already in a great mood, hearing this will prolong it for you. Now that I've become reacquainted with this Suite and see that it is now remastered and available on CD, I will order it in that format. And you can be sure I won't forget it again.

Classic Must Have Jazz.......2006-11-10

I first bought this 25 years ago and have never grown tired of it.

Life Saver.......2005-12-25

Normally reviews try to tell you about the music. In this one I will only tell you what the music did for me. When I was 14, I was in the hospital for two months for a corrective surgical process on my leg. While I was in, I became very depressed, had trouble eating, and lost a lot of weight off a frame that was not exactly hefty to start with. This album (and a version of Handel's Water Music which I'm trying to find) I listened to every day, again and again. It kept me from becoming utterly despondent. I have heard no other music as serenely cheerful and bouyant.

There's nothing in the world quite like it!.......2005-04-12

I'm a fan of all sorts of music, from film music to pop/rock, folk, some country, vocal, opera, classical, and even some heavy metal. I don't have ANY music like this other than some of the other Bolling suites. This and "Suite No. 2" for Flute and Jazz Piano are ESSENTIAL. They never get old, and are like old friends every time you hear them, as they never fail to deliver. Whatever type of music you like or don't like, if you try this disc out and don't find yourself feeling happier than you were before you put it on, there's something wrong with you. One of those rare discs (like the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds") that should be in every person's music library, to pop on from time-to-time as they go through life. I'm sure I will be listening to this and other Bolling jazz suites for decades and decades to come. He is the master of this art form as far as I'm concerned.

My favorite recording.......2005-03-16

I bought this on cassette over 20 years ago, and it continues to be #1 in my top ten list of favorite recordings. It is a perfect blend of baroque and jazz. I remember playing this in my car and my passenger was amazed at the structure of the music, particularly transitions within the pieces. I like all of Bollings series of "_____ and jazz piano" but this is the best of all. It remains fresh & creative. How could anyone not find this music compelling?

If you like jazz, you'll love Bolling!.......2005-07-05

If you've never heard Claude Bolling before, you've really missed out. This suite of his is as wonderful as all the others. However, if you are not familiar with Bolling, listen to the available clips before purchasing, as even though I think he's great, his music is not for everyone.

Superbly inventive, beautifully recorded.......2002-10-04

Claude Bolling's astonishing "Picnic Suite" is a superbly inventive, beautifully recorded album of music that's somewhere in between jazz and classical. It's hard to describe, but it's absolutely addictive.

The opening song, "Rococo," starts out with a prim, rather strict classical structure, then slouches easily into a warmer, more jazz-tinged mood. Jean-Pierre Rampal's flute playing flits like a butterfly above the clipped piano (played by Bolling) and the mellow guitar playing (by Alexandre Lagoya). "Madrigal" has a Spanish feel to it--mournful, quiet, in a minor key. It's lush and lovely. "Gaylancholic" has the feeling of a fugue without actually being one, the guitar and flute chasing each other down all sorts of musical blind alleys. "Canon" is bright and cheerful, Rampal's flute soaring and singing into a gorgeous blue sky of a piece. This is sumptuous music that rewards the many listens you'll doubtless give it.

Top 10.......2002-04-02

If I were to own only 10 music albums...Picnic Suite would definitely be one of them. Bolling's music is full of fun and vitality. He is today's Vivaldi.

Favorite.......2001-06-30

This is my favorite Bolling release. I have heard all the other ones (being a college radio station DJ gave a lot of access). This one is just my blend. Some slow, emotionally moving pieces (ala Barber's "Adagio for Strings") and some faster, but never extraordinarily fast.

Decent recording, but not great. ....

bolling - a genius composer !.......2000-06-21

bolling is one of my favorite composers of this soft and easy to listen to combination of classical music and jazz. usually a preformer in a trio (- bass , drums and bolling on the piano) bolling composed a few albums with additional instuments -each album a different guest.the most famous is "suite for flute & jazz piano" - joined by rampal on flute. another is "suite for classic guitar & jazz piano" - this time joined by alexander lagoya - a great classical guitarist. after succeeding with both albums , bolling decided to compose an album with both lagoya & rampal as guests, the result (which was great) is called "picnic suite". it's a great combination ! mostly recommended !

Genius of Bolling.......2006-11-10

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.

Bolling's Greatest.......2005-02-17

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.

Bolling Spreads His Wings.......2003-10-17

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.

Another amazingly listenable album from Claude Bolling.......2002-10-04

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!

Flute and Jazz Piano.......2001-10-27

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.

Bolling's Greatest Hits.......2007-05-13

If you haven't heard Claude Bolling's music, this is the CD you want to buy first. Not only does it have the best tunes of all his CDs each tune shows which CD it came from.

I love playing a Bolling tune and asking a friend is this Classical or Jazz? They'll always say it sounds like Classical and then it shifts to Jazz. Everyone that has heard his CDs goes out and buys it.

Smart Jazz.......2006-03-08

A clever and talentous work on the pulse of jazz, mixing it with classical music.

A Flutist's Intro to Bolling.......2002-10-20

Get this cd if you want to hear Bolling's works for flute before deciding if you would like to perform them. A great cd overall, maybe another brave flutist would like to redo these works? Although the late Jean-Pierre Rampal was known for doing 'the Picnic Suite' and 'Suite For Flute and Piano' I would like to add another artist to my collection.

Amazing Collection of Artist's & Bolling Compositions.......2001-05-01

Seems as here exhibited that the best of classical and jazz do have an area of union. Bolling combined the two by writing his suite for Flue and Jazz Piano, as well as these others for the specific performers.

How about writing a piece just for Jean-Pierre Rampal and Yo-Yo Ma?

Favorites include Baroque and Blue, Baroque in Rhythm and Rag-Polka.

This is music of a different sort, but most enjoyable. Bravo, Claude!

Great Price, Great CD........2000-10-06

This is a collection of some great Claude Bolling pieces, including one of my favorites on track 4. If Bolling's style appeals to you, or if you are just looking for some good clever jazz, go for this. It's quite different, and it's good.

Great Recordings with a twist.......2006-08-03

This CD is full of jazz in spite of the fact that I have associated most of the performers with classical music. This shows the diversity in their ability to perform a wide array of music that I never heard in the past from them.

If you like jazz without too much dissonance, this is a great CD to purchase. The interesting and awkward rhythms are the best parts of this CD.

You can have your own party just from listening to this music.

Bolling holds a swinging party & I won't leave.......2001-04-29

I had this CD around and was going to put it up for sale via Amazon Marketplace. I listen to other Bolling CDs. But, somehow I had "missed" the jivvy jazz in this recording.

As the sounds of "Baroque and Blue," 5:15, Track 1 started playing, the thoughts of selling the CD disappeared.

Bolling plays the piano superbly and Maurice Andre's trumpet radiates pure jazz notes. This is a clasical jazz CD. The 12 tracks tie together like movements of a symphony and there is a bewitching common theme, best heard in track 7 "Mystique." After Andre and Bolling swing in #7, track 8 "Canon," emerges with Jean Pierre Rampal's flute, golden. Guy Pedersen's string bass is crisp and Daniel Humair plays the drums with unhearlded pizzaz. And, how can one overlook the strumming of guitarist Alexandre Lagoya?

This is one of the best jazz or instrumental CDs I have ever heard. I normally listen while writing and use the sounds as background music. Lagoya's contribution to #9, Tendre, matching Rampal's clarity is mystical. So, I am enjoying each note and marveling at the classical synergy displayed.

The cover notes cite "recipes from Martha Stewart's "Entertaining" and her other best-selling books on food and lifestyle." Sure enough, Martha has a menu: 1. Cocktails & Sparkling Water...the CD's sounds sparkle. 2. Crudites with Anchovy Mayonnaise, complete with the recipe. 3. Chicken on Skewers, also including what to use & how. 4. Prosciutto and Figs: Anyone can lay this dish out. 5. Cornmeal-Fried Oysters: The recipe is for 2 dozen.

So, a person can buy this album (just) to get great recipes for dishes to accompany superb jazz. The recipes are simple to follow and delicious to read. One can buy the CD for the delightful cocktails that Bolling presents. But here "one = two." Or, to put this in other words "With two you get eggroll." The eggroll is the delightful dish one savors listening to the music while nibbling on the chicken & oysters. Magnifique!

Awesome!.......2003-04-07

It is clear that both flute and piano sounds are beautiful. But what if they were sounded at the same time?
This album is the one that can solve that question.

I will choose these two tracks, if I were asked to do, "Baroque and blue" and "Sentimental".
Starting with the flute melody, which seems pretty familiar, "Baroque and blue" makes listeners feel so refreshing. Of course, the piano and the flute get along well with each other.

"Sentimental", starts with the piano solo, which seems to be rather normal, but through the whole music, that piano sound changes into more jazzy sound. The music becomes bright, vivid, as it gets faster and faster.

I 'm sure there would be no regrets choosing this album, especially for who enjoys crossover music. I think this album adorned the history of crossover music! strongly recommend!

Strange interpretation of "classical".......2005-01-17

I bought this CD because it contained some songs I was having a hard time finding elsewhere, such as Passo pel prat, Chants d'Auvergne sung by Fredrica Von Stade. However, some of the songs on this CD do not seem to belong e.g. all three songs by John Williams, Mack the Knife, Barbra Streisand, and the Psycho Murder Theme for starters, and many more.

I gave the CD 4 stars only because I was happy that I was able to find a few somewhat rare tracks.

An interesting mix..........2002-05-18

This is a sampler in the truest meaning of the word. I bought this 4 CD work primarly for two tracks, but also because I was interested to see what else was out there without investing a fortune in CD's I wouldn't like! I was surprised by the wide diversity of music ranging from true classical and jazz to contemporary compositions and interpretations.

While I find some tracks divine (Williams's _Schindler's List_), I find other tracks unsettling (_Beau Soir_ performed by Barbra Streisand). But when you are trying to span 100 years of music, you will (and should) encounter all tastes and styles. Overall, I really enjoy listening to this set. My only regret is that I don't have a CD changer...

A touch of history...........2002-01-28

An exceptional set. The history of music making of the 20th century in 4 CDs. Even from the first track with Giuseppe Campanari and Charles Adams Prince you can see that people put much time in collecting the best interpretations and putting together an amazing collection. Other highlights include the "Mack The Knife" with Lotte Lenya, the Bachiana Brasileiras, The Fanfare For The Common Man with LSO conducted by the composer and so many more. An undespiuted *****

A Trip to the 70s.......2004-01-25

Proust had his madeleine dunked in chamomile tea, I have the Jazz Suites of Claude Bolling. I hadn't heard this music in probably twenty-five years, but when I heard the first track here, 'Baroque and Blue,' I was transported back to the 1970s when the world was young. The first jazz suite was on the Billboard best-seller list for, get this, almost ten years. And one heard it everywhere. I was so struck by the combination of jazz and baroque music that I picked out the first couple of pieces on the piano for my own amusement. The original recording featured pianist/composer Bolling and flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal, the latter up to then a strictly classical artist. The recording was a great favorite with jazz and classical fans alike. One heard it at parties, on the radio, whistled on the street, in nightspots.

This new recording of the two suites--actually Suite 1 was recorded in 1997 and Suite 2 in 1999--features an all-Sicilian cast of musicians (Giovanni Roselli, flute and Alberto Alibrandi, piano, and friends) was recorded in Catania. It is in sparkling modern sound--the one way it outshines its illustrious predecessor--and is nicely played, although there are some places, especially in fugal or canonic passages, where the articulation of the flutist and the pianist are at odds, one playing staccato, the other semi-legato. The ensemble is tight, the fast passages played with real élan, the slower episodes with feeling.

I'm glad I have this version, because sadly my original Bolling-Rampal version is on LP. I know, though, that the original versions have never been out of print and have long since been transferred to CD; I just don't happen to own them. Also, I think the Bolling/Rampal version requires two CDs. I don't think Roselli and gang have much new to add, but they turn in a creditable set of performances here, and there is the budget price to consider.

Product Description

Hailed as an artist who “plays with absolute perfection, a refined style, and a ravishing sonority,” Jeanne Baxtresser has held principal positions with three major orchestras, culminating with her 15-year tenure as solo flutist with the New York Philharmonic. Making her heralded debut with the Minnesota Orchestra at age 14, Ms. Baxtresser began her professional career as principal flutist of the Montreal Symphony immediately following her graduation from The Juilliard School, where she studied with Julius Baker. She was subsequently appointed principal flute of the Toronto Symphony before being invited by Music Director Zubin Mehta to join the New York Philharmonic. Ms. Baxtresser appeared as soloist with the New York Philharmonic on more than fifty occasions, and has been the featured soloist with leading orchestras across North America and Europe. Recipient of the National Flute Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award for significant, lasting contributions! to the flute world, she is recognized internationally as a leading recording artist, author, and pedagogue. In great demand as a teacher, many of her students occupy principal and section positions in major orchestras throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. In addition to presenting master classes worldwide, Ms. Baxtresser served on the faculty of The Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music. She is currently the Vira I. Heinz Professor of Flute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and Visiting Artist Lecturer at the New England Conservatory in Boston. Among her solo and chamber recordings is the acclaimed New York Legends - Jeanne Baxtresser (Cala), and Jeanne Baxtresser - Chamber Music for Flute (Cala) recorded with principal players of the New York Philharmonic. She has also recorded the major symphonic works with the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein, Zubin Mehta and Kurt Masur. Ms. Baxtresser’s first book, Orchestral Excerpts for Flute with Piano Accompaniment (Theodore Presser), with a companion CD (Summit), has quickly become a vital part of flute pedagogy. Her subsequent book, Great Flute Duos from the Orchestral Repertoire was named the 2004 winner of the National Flute Association’s Newly Published Music Competition.

Customer Reviews:

A truly wonderful and original composition.......2002-11-06

This album contains the first pairing of flautist Jean Pierre Rampal and composer and jazz musician Claude Bolling. Rampal is renowned as the premier classical flautist. Bolling has received acclaim and awards as a composer, conductor, arranger and pianist.

The album contains some truly original and exciting jazz fusion. But where some great jazz requires an advanced degree in music to appreciate, this album is accessible. Yet, it is not the elevator jazz played on new age stations. It is more akin to The Dave Brubeck Five than Swing, the complex strains of Chick Corea or the the soft tones of Kenny G.

The album is aptly named. A Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio is exactly what is here. The album contains seven related, but contrasting songs. Tha album has a jazz underpinning over which Bolling and Rampal intertwine the classical flute with and jazz stylings. Sometimes, the music is of the counterpoint style, where the jazz piano and the classical flute have a discourse, each in its own style, but following the same musical theme. At other times, the two play the same melody in unison, yet continue to maintain their own style. And at other times, the flute and piano switch stylistic roles. Unique and enjoyable, this album is well worth listening to.

Very enjoyable.......2002-01-05

This is lively and easy to listen to.

Truly a work of art.......2001-11-18

This album is truly a work of art. Jazz trio meets classical flute...and it works! It is such beautiful music, that I can't imagine anyone not falling under its spell. It is like jazz music has married classical music, and what we are hearing are scenes from their honeymoon. It is delightful, airy, joyous and wonderful music, and I defy anyone to say they dislike it. I can't wait to hear Bolling's other compositions. The booklet includes good liner notes and a short bio on both Claude Bolling and Jean-Pierre Rampal. Recommended for all music lovers. A must-have!!

A Jazzy Classical Gas!.......2000-04-04

This is the one that started all the Bolling Suites--mixtures and admixtures of jazzy blues and classical themes. It works. It works well. I have always prized this in my collection, first in vinyl, now in CD. I think if you love music, period, you will get your 'dig on' with this.

Listen and be enlightened to life.......1999-07-02

I loved this record the very first time I ever heard it.The music has great range. It can go from a sunny picnic next to a willow tree to a smokey jazz cafe.Being a person who has always found classical music mundane and reserved for holidays, this album has opened my eyes to the emotions you can hear without words.
