Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by Claude Bolling - m. 2

[Kiinsuke]

Wonderful !!

[lacamellita]

@kubilayakyildiz: yes, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

[lacamellita]

I love this piece. Thanks for posting and GO TERPS! 2 questions: first, you're playing CHORDS on that flute? I always thought it was two flutes! And secondly, I'll repeat Barrococoa's question: why is the drummer not playing the percussion part as written?

[ejflute3]

@lacamellita Thank you! This piece was written for jazz musicians, so there's room for artistic freedom. The original drum part is pretty basic the way it is, so it really enhances the music to add some improvisation.

I don't know about chords, since there's only one flute playing...maybe you had the video playing twice in another window?

[Kubilayakyildiz]

@lacamellita

I believe you're thinking the part where flute and piano plays the same melody. They can be mistaken for two flutes with the right amount of reverb. : )

I love this piece. Thanks for posting and GO TERPS!

[ikertznus]

Do you happen to remember the highest note in this piece? :)

[ChiliBob57]

Because there wouldn't be drums!

[sfbassoonguy]

Bravo! Nice ensemble, lovely flute playing. One of my old favorites. I wish Bolling would write something like this for the bassoon!

[marianovsky]

Very nice, congratulations!

[Krillin92]

wow! Amazing =)

Now I want to do this song for my assessment next year.

Do you know where I can buy the music? Like, from a book or something, becase I've searched on the net and all I can find for sale are the cds.

[GerogeJohnPaulRingo]

The Flautist makes me happy to watch. :] There is barely any good Jazz flute music.

[evaxanne433]

this is a gorgeous piece....im so excited to start playing it

[thepianomasterclass]

wonderful playing, nice balance between the flute and the piano trio

[Babejuda]

Beautiful! Bravi! The music itself and the playing of all the musicians. Really a masterpiece. Well done!

[13irdo]

Why is this called a trio?

[ejflute3]

Good question...that's something to ask Claude Bolling. All I can say is that in Baroque times, a trio sonata usually had three instruments and continuo - so it was really four instruments playing. Go figure :-)

[Hisrlomba]

piano + flute + [drume, Cello](jazz band)

[fluterampal]

The term piano trio in jazz usually refers to a group comprising a pianist, a double bass player and a drummer. The pianist is usually considered the leader of these trios, and trios are usually named after their pianist. So this is a Jazz Trio with a Flutist. Its emphasizing the traditional group jazz . More like a trio + 1.

"flute ...AND... jazz piano trio">>1+3=4

count is good

[jsbachflute]

@13irdo It is Flute and Piano JAZZ TRIO (Piano + Bass + Drums)

[dind84]

@13irdo This piece is written for Flute and Jazz Trio. So i guess that the trio jazz is composed by cello, piano and drums :)

[CocoBeethoven91]

@13irdo it's a Jazz piano trio - they don't count the flute because the flute is the soloist but the accompaniment is a trio. On the score it's Flute and Jazz piano trio.

[heathermayflute]

beautiful playing, and nice camera shot!! That looks like a great place to perform

[Iamd3po]

very nice

the opening and closing melody is so perfectly controlled

[Alecsey21]

Bravo!!!

[twong86]

great job! This is one of my favourite movement of the whole work, I love the control you have you have with the instrument and the trio sounds great!

[rampalino]

it could have sounded like you were having more fun with it.

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

I agree. You are obviously very gifted,, but enjoy it and the audience will too! GBD

[rampalino]

very good. you go off time close to the middle but overall very nice to listen to.
