Do you like crossover records?

[Daddy Bone]

Just listened to the ubiquitous Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by Claude Bolling, featuring classical flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal. I always thought it was a nice little jazz record, but didn't really think of it as a classical piece. That's kind of like saying Pete Townsend wrote opera. Oooo, I'm gonna get shade for that! But seriously, Wikipedia says the album was nominated in 1975 for a Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music Performance.

So what crossover records are you fond of?

Buffalo Springfield Again, merging Country, Rock and Folk. Many other groundbreaking groups that joined them in the effort.

Yes, and that's an awesome record.

Oh yeah! How about that quick little jazz interlude at the end of Broken Arrow? Not a lot of clarinets on rock and roll records.

One of my favorite cross overs. Electronic dance melds with classical.

Bossa Nova meets Japanese Enka.

Ambient tuba by Tom Heasley. It seems odd but works very well.......right up there with Brian Eno's Ambient 4- On Land
