Born on April 10, 1930, in Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes, France, Bolling was a child prodigy and began playing piano professionally by 14 with Lionel Hampton and Roy’s likes Eldridge. Bolling greatly assisted in reviving traditional jazz in the 1960s, befriending greats like Oscar Peterson and citing Duke Ellington as a large influence.

Claude Bolling was also a gifted film composer, writing music for over 100 films, including a 1957 documentary about the Cannes Film Festival and many French and Canadian films. Some of his credits include “Me and the Forty-Year Old Man” (1965), “Borsalino” (1970), “To Catch a Spy” (1971), “Le Magnifique” (1973), “Flic Story” (1975), “Silver Bears” (1978), “California Suite” (1978), “The Awakening” (1980), “Willie & Phil” (1980), “Three Men to Kill” (1980), “The Bay Boy” (1984), “He Died With His Eyes Open” (1985), “Try This One for Size” (1989) and “Chance or Coincidence” (1998).

His songs can also be heard on many American film soundtracks, including 2006’s “The Holiday” starring Cameron Diaz and Jack Black, the 2018 mystery “A Simple Favor,” and 2019’s Oscar-winning film “Joker.”

However, Bolling is perhaps most well-known for his crossover collaborations with classical musicians, including his 1975 “Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio” with Jean-Pierre Rampal on the Billboard classical charts for more than a decade and earned him a Grammy nomination. Over his career, Bolling collaborated with musicians such as guitarist Alexandre Lagoya, violinist Pinchas Zukerman, trumpeter Maurice André, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

Bolling’s wife, Irène Dervize-Sadyker, died in 2017. They had two sons together, David and Alexandre.
