Claude Bolling: Suite for Violin and Jazz Piano Trio
Price 16.29 - 21.35 USD
Now besieged with requests for classical/jazz "suites" for himself and big-time classical performers, Claude Bolling took up violinist Pinchas Zukerman"s commission, and out came another attractive confection that allows a classical cat to play quasi-jazzman for a day. This time, Bolling chooses mostly classical dance forms for his eight movements, still inserting mostly mainstream jazz segments (and a few vintage ones) around and under his soloist without getting him involved. Although he isn"t asked to play jazz, Zukerman"s warm, Romantic-era-grounded virtuosity doesn"t betray even a hint of feeling for it; that makes Bolling"s close-knit merger even more remarkable.
