About This Item
Lying between classical music and jazz, InchcrossoverInch is a hybrid that went down in the history of 20th century music as a genre of it's own. Giving birth in turn to jazz fusion, the crossover genre culminated in the Seventies, notably with the of Claude Bolling's InchSuite for fluteInch with Jean-Pierre Rampal (FA443), a record that sold enough to guarantee it's 10-year stay in the charts of American magazine InchBillboardInch. This anthology prepared by Jean-Baptiste Mersiol takes us back to the experiments of crossover's greatest pioneers, namely Jacques Loussier, André Hodeir, André Prévin and Claude Bolling. Beginning in the late Fifties, they were the first to bridge the divide between Europe's written music and America's jazz improvisations. Album Tracks 1. Complainte De Mackie 2.
