Classical trumpeter Maurice André tries his hand at a Claude Bolling classical/jazz suite, whose titles are getting more precious with each new work. Indeed, parts of Toot Suite are overrun with a terminal case of the "cutes" -- the hybrid "Rag-Polka" especially -- as Bolling's writing perhaps is pandering a bit toward the element in his mass audience that likes entertaining, featherweight novelties.

André is an impeccable trumpeter, clean, sweet-toned and articulate to a fault; to accomodate his talents and his instrument collection, Bolling spreads the six movements among five different horns (C and E-flat trumpets, B-flat piccolo trumpet, cornet and flugelhorn). Guy Pedersen (bass) and Daniel Humair (drums) round out the team. ~ Richard S. Ginell, Rovi
