Barta’s latest symphonic release is his arrangement of Claude Bolling’s classic Suite for Flute & Jazz Piano. Now titled Symphonic Arrangement: Suite for Flute & Jazz Piano, the new recording features pianist Jeff Biegel along with renowned flutist Hubert Laws.
Barta is also a music educator with more than 35 years of experience teaching intermediate to advanced students, educators, and professional musicians. He teaches at Colorado College, where he focuses on jazz piano, arranging and composition. His latest single release is his original composition titled “Ascended,” with Barta on piano along with Laws and guitarist Lee Trees.
