Claude Bolling - Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio - Sentimentale (Live!)

A treasured recording in my entire flute playing career, a time when I was at the height of musicianship. A period of flute playing I already said goodbye to.
I remember standing in the stage with no one but my pianist and I. All eyes and ears, fully focused on us. In the midst of the quietness and serenity, I coaxed every shape and sound, each breath and each phrase at a time. This was a voice and yearning from the bottom of my heart, through my flute and straight into the hearts of audience.

Thank you for your very kind words Sarah.

It's so interesting to hear this piece without drums and bass - it's a very different experience! I also loved the differences in the embellishments you chose to add.

[@OriolePublishing]

Thank you Sean! Happy that you have enjoyed my recording - I'm so glad I even managed to record and preserve it.
The embellishments were something I thought to just differentiate (without veering too far off) my recording from others' who tend to follow the written score to the tee.

Oh, my ... Letter Q? Why did I never think of that?! (Far too often, those who don't emulate Rampal end up butchering Bolling, but not you.) But look: I, too, lost my flute (a gold Miyazawa) due to another's horrendous financial mistake & haven't played since ... but we never lose who we are. I was given a (perfectly decent) non-pro Miyazawa - will get a Grenaditte head joint so I don't drag my heart over the coals because I don't have that rose gold "sing" - and my Bolling is at the top of the stack of "Play a few moments at a time because it just feels that good." All my love - Kate
