Tonight’s edition of Pianoforte features pieces that are a mixture of Classical and Jazz. One of those pieces is actually one that was brought to us by one of our great KMFA volunteers! The piece is called Baroque and Blue and is from a Grammy-nomiated album called Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano, with music composed by French jazz pianist Claude Bolling. Jean-Pierre Rampal is the flutist, and it’s worth mentioning that this is his first recording that isn’t strictly Classical.

Here is a music video of Baroque and Blue, filmed on location at Versailles!

Tune in Wednesday nights at 9pm to hear Pianoforte, hosted by Jules Brandon.
