Bolling, the pupil who became master, representing European music, introduced the ingenious mixture of jazz and classical music to the United States through his Suite for the flute and a piano jazz trio with Jean-Pierre Rampal which beat all records by staying in the Billboard charts for 530 weeks. Alexandre Lagoya, a leading guitarist of the XXth century, commissioned Claude Bolling for this concerto, another masterpiece of crossover Alexander Lagoya, Michel Gaudry, Marc Michel, Marcel Sabiani, Andre Arpino.
