Wikipedia : This day (December 29, 2020), in Saint-Cloud, France, died Claude Bolling,  a French jazz pianist and composer.

Official Site : Claude at some time or other had to have hung out with the wrong people to get the right feeling of soul interpreted in his version, or should I say this version of Black, Brown and Beige. Thank goodness he helps to keep the genius of Duke Ellington alive. (Mercer Ellington)

@ allmusic : Beginning in 1975, Bolling created his own personal micro-genre of classical crossover chamber jazz, composing and recording entire suites that featured several of the world’s most highly acclaimed virtuosi.

@last.fm : Bolling is also noted for a series of “crossover” collaborations with classical musicians. His Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio with Jean-Pierre Rampal, a clever and charming mix of Baroque elegance with modern swing, has been a top seller for many years, and was followed up by other works in the same vein.
