Soirée Musicale returns with a fascinating juxtaposition of classical chamber music and jazz. Franz Schubert’s beloved Trout Quintet has – at first glance – nothing to do with jazz. Its nickname stems from a set of variations that Schubert composed on one of his own art songs titled “The Trout” which he used as the fourth movement of the quintet. This is where it gets interesting – improvising variations over a popular song is what small combo jazz musicians do almost exclusively! Claude Bolling was a French jazz pianist and composer who wrote music to over one hundred films. He eventually composed a Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio that resulted in a recording with flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal and became immensely popular. The piece served as a template for several other works such as the Jazz à la française, an exciting and toe tapping suite that combines classical idioms with jazz characteristics from the swing and bebop areas.
