驚くべき敏捷性とリリシズムを持った、あまり知られていないバリトン・サックス奏者、サージ・チャロフの1956年代表作。
ピアニストのソニー・クラーク、ベーシストのリロイ・ヴィネガー、ドラマーのフィリー・ジョー・ジョーンズが参加したこのカルテットは、ゆったりとしたスタンダード・ナンバーで煮えたぎる。

Baritonist Serge Chaloff's final recording as a leader is his best. Blue Serge is a quartet outing with pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Philly Joe Jones. Chaloff had already contracted the spinal paralysis that would kill him a year later but there is no hint of any weakness on this date. Whether it be "The Goof and I," "I've Got the World on a String" or a beautiful rendition of "Stairway to the Stars," this recording features Serge Chaloff at his best. ~ Scott Yanow
