miles65 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Posted December 30, 2020 Just learned that Claude Bolling died the 29th 90 years. I saw him perform a piano recital at the Woking Ellington conference (2012). He joined us for drinks afterwards. Spoke with him a few words. A very curtious and plessant man. BIOGRAPHIE | Claude Bolling (claude-bolling.com) Quote
gmonahan Posted December 30, 2020 Report Posted December 30, 2020 Sad news. I always had an eccentric fondness for this goofy record: Quote
Justin V Posted December 31, 2020 Report Posted December 31, 2020 I only have a couple of his albums. I remember liking First Class, a big-band album with Stephane Grappelli. Thank you for the music, Mr. Bolling, and rest in peace. Quote
mjzee Posted December 31, 2020 Report Posted December 31, 2020 This was huge, back in the day. I thought it was well-performed. RIP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite_for_Flute_and_Jazz_Piano_Trio Quote
RiRiIII Posted January 2, 2021 Report Posted January 2, 2021 RIP. I love this suite. Amazing talent. Quote
Patrick Posted January 3, 2021 Report Posted January 3, 2021 I was a big fan of the various suites (w iconic covers) in high school. Don’t think I’ve listened to them much since. Should track them down. I enjoy one of his JiP titles. RIP Mr Bolling. Quote
