Beginning @04:20 such an amazing composition and performance, am in awe. First time knowingly hearing a Bolling suite or maybe second time........wow!.......need a second to.......collect me thoughts......!
He has always been a musician I admire...his musicality seems so effortless and genuine and yet he is also quite the scholar and thinker...his gifts are not accidental! ;)
Though I like all of Bolling’s Suites for a classical instrument and jazz piano trio, the one I like best is his video at Versailles with the first suite for flute as featured instrument, Bolling playing himself and Jean-Pierre Rampal on the flute; those pictures are suiting well to the music.
Since late-70s Bolling was as innovative as surprising, showing how classics and smooth jazz can mix without loosing their identity with unique results. Going back, I recall always Prokofiev´s 1st Symphony op. 25, "Classic", also showing as modern composers are able to go back in time and composition style. Just a final note - I can not prevent from compairing some of Bolling´s pieces to musical Impressionism. Data venia, It is.

18:15 it is always a good moment for some Rossini

Didn't know that jazz cello was a thing, glad i do now
@Brad Watson jazz ≠ improvisation , you’re wrong

I want a sheet
He kinda looks like Bill Gates..
Seems to be some confusion at 223 and 231. Other than that, great job!
Aside form being a voracious reader, Bill Gates also play cello.
