Excellent Resource for Advanced Students
This Claude Bolling Suite is a fantastic teaching resource for advanced students. The challenging yet rewarding jazz elements are excellent for developing rhythmic precision and stylistic understanding. Hal Leonard's clear engraving makes it easy to read, and the accompanying CD provides invaluable practice support, allowing students to learn effectively even without a live accompanist. Highly recommended for serious flutists.

Solid Edition for Professional Use
A reliable edition of Bolling's iconic Suite. The separate parts are clearly printed for performance, and crucial for a jazz context, chord symbols are accurately included in the piano score. This is a staple piece, making it a great choice for various events. Just note that the provided backing tracks have significant flute rests, which can be a minor consideration for solo gigs using only the CD.

Dynamic Piano Accompaniment
For collaborative pianists, this Bolling Suite offers a rich, engaging experience. The piano texture provides sophisticated jazz accompaniment that truly supports and converses with the flute, rather than merely shadowing the melody. It requires a skilled pianist to fully realize its potential, creating a vibrant chamber music dynamic. An essential for ensembles looking for lively, classic jazz fusion.

So much fun to play
It was as great as I’ve heard it was before the purchase. My accompanist and I had so much fun playing the first movement and on - it’s really to play, both instruments have a plenty of showcase moments for versatility.

So fun to play with!
This is such a fun suite of music and the back up music is well produced. It is quite challenging up to tempo but attainable for the accomplished, intermediate flutist. The only drawback is that if you are looking for backup for a solo performance, most of these pieces have periods of significant rests for the flute (16+ measures) which make for awkward wait times for the soloist playing with recorded accompaniment.ance. One of the pieces also begins with a lengthy flute solo, making it difficult to match up with the accompaniment when it finally begins. However, it is still absolutely a blast to play these pieces with this accompaniment.
