About Flûte Passion
Flutist Nadia Labrie presents her brand new project Flûte passion: Hommage à Claude Bolling. Claude Bolling, the first composer to combine classical music and jazz, recorded the Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio with flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal, which became a worldwide success. At the beginning of the 80s, two other suites, Picnic Suite and Suite No. 2 for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio, were released to the delight of all.
In this concert, flutist Nadia Labrie will perform the most beautiful movements of the three suites with finesse, sensitivity and virtuosity. She will be accompanied by Jonathan Turgeon on piano, Dominic Girard on double bass, Bernard Riche on drums and Sébastien Dufour on guitar (Picnic Suite). This concert is a tribute to Claude Bolling, who died on 29 December 2020 in France. In 2024 and 2025, Nadia will release three albums of Claude Bolling's complete works for flute and piano jazz trio on the ATMA Classique label.
