Genre: Jazz piano
Places I remember: A gift store in Woodville. He had about a dozen records in a basket and this was one of them amid the usual James Last and Herb Alperts. Mint condition! Not kidding.
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Finale
Gear costume: Rhapsodic
Active compensatory factors: George Shearing, Shelly Manne (drums), Ray Brown (bass) and Angel Romero are on board this time. Yowsers! What a line-up!

Claude must have been pinching himself. George Shearing contributes some piano - given Claude is an amazing pianist, I can only guess that he was being a fanboy by including George. I don't have the ears to distinguish the two pianists but it sounds fantastic!
Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano will always be the standout in his catalogue, but this one, being a concerto, unfolds and develops in quite an organic way with the integration of jazz combo and classic guitar being pretty seamless.
Where do they all belong? Just when I think I've got enough Claude Bolling records, another one pops up in front of me.
