Event Details

Our presentation features two contemporary composers from Europe: Frenchman Claude Bolling and John Rutter of England. Claude Bolling was a remarkable composer/jazz pianist born in Cannes in the early 20 th century and passing recently in 2020. Bolling was a major part of the traditional jazz revival in the late 1960s and became good friends with Oscar Peterson in the process. Bolling’s Suite for Jazz Flute premiered in 1975 and the Columbia record featuring flute virtuoso Jean-Pierre Rampal took the US by storm. It remained on the Billboard top 40 list for
almost ten years!

Janet Stodd, flute and alto flute, Michael Yachanin, piano, Jordan Brint, bass, Dan Volpe, percussion will be  performing “The Best of Bolling “ and will include selections from Suite No. 1 and Suite No. 2 for Flute and Jazz Piano by Claude Bolling.
