Thanks for posting that! I have the article open in another window and I am going to listen to all of the pieces listed! :)
We have a classical radio station/show similar to that, and I always enjoy when people make requests.
When I was a youngster of 20 or so, I discovered Jean-Pierre Rampal, and his beautiful flute pieces. My favorite recording of his is ‘Claude Bolling’s Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano.’

I used to have a cassette of that, way back when, until it wore out. Just ordered a CD. Thanks for reminding me about a long-ago favorite.
I used to play that number. Had the parts for the bass and drums, too. Then one day I woke up and didn't like flute music that much anymore. Or my flautist girlfriend.
Bolling wrote some interesting suites for guitar as well as violin and another piece for two pianos. Another for piano and orchestra...
It sort of falls under the category of "Jazzical". Chick Corea's Piano Concerto, Brubeck's "Brandenburg Gate", Bowfire's "Father Fugue", Templeton's "Bach Goes to Town", Ellington's "River Suite". Gershwin...
