“The mere mention of his union with the cinema is enough to make Bolling burst into flame, for movies have always been a passion of his; so much so, in fact, that he had a premonition: sooner or later, he’d meet movies face to face… Listening to the original soundtrack was enough to convince everyone that with Catch me a spy, Claude Bolling had established himself as Henry Mancini’s French cousin… From the elegant jazz waltzes of the California suite to the spellbinding pieces he devoted to ancient Egypt [The Awakening], Claude Bolling illuminates the wide screen of our musical memory with swing and lyricism.” Stephane Lerouge
