Bolling You Over
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
There are few musical careers as impressive as Claude Bolling’s. Born in Cannes in 1930, Bolling was already performing professionally by age 16, and was soon accepted by all major jazz circles in France and beyond. He collaborated with countless American swing-bop bands and other jazz legends, and even Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington were admirers. Always fascinated with the idea of mixing genres, Bolling's perhaps biggest legacy is his film and television scores, which number over one hundred. Tonight, we hear Africane from his Concerto for Guitar and Jazz Piano Trio, as well as the final installment of the series, Concerts from the Frick Collection featuring Baroque ensemble Tempesta di Mare.
