What’s performed
The Bolling Quartet presents a programme blending Baroque and jazz through works by the French composer Claude Bolling. The repertoire includes the Toot Suite—with movements like Allègre, Mystique, Rag-Polka, Vespérale and Spirituelle—and pieces from Jazz à la française, such as Bach to Swing, Not this time and Blue Kiss from Brazil. According to Palau de la Música, these compositions stand out for their virtuosity and for combining classical structures with jazz improvisation, ideal for a chamber format.

The quartet consists of four Valencian musicians:
- Raúl Junquera (solo trumpet),
- Javier Sapiña (double bass),
