By Ian Shine TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This record is phenomenal. I am a jazz fan, but reckon it is pretty accessible for the non-jazz type as a good introduction to what your missing.
The album has a sense of frivolity about it, as do most of Serge's, but this does not detract at all from the quality of the music. It is also not made frivolous to hide inadequacies elsewhere.
Comparisons: certainly bears more than a few similarities to Matthew Herbert's Big Band album, although Serge does it much better. If you like Stan Getz/Astrud Gilberto, you'll probably like this. I'd say it also has a subtle latin edge to it, so if that floats your boat...
My only regret is that I didn't find out about this album earlier.

Genius 27 Jun 2001
By jumpy1 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Work of genius from a very versatile artist. I think this is his best album. I don't know how he does it -- sensitive yet callous, superficial yet intense. Sorry to sound corny but there it is. I hear his songs in my head, they are hard to shake off, they are so right-on. You think it's just for fun and then you realize later, this stuff is deep!

Requiem pour un twisteur 12 Sep 2000
By EriKa - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Gainsbourg dabbled with many styles, but he loved jazz and produced a lot of jazz works, particularly in the earliest parts of his career. This album is the product of his admiration for and emulation of jazz. It is clear he is trying to carve out something original. Indeed his work is quite distinctive... vintage Gainsbourg with its roots clearly in jazz. Still the same tongue-in-cheek Gainsbourg (if you understand French, a pretty funny set of lyrics is to be had in the tune "Du jazz dans le Ravin".) All recorded in the early 1960s, this record is a collection of Gainsbourg's experiments with jazz. While some of the music sounds standard and repetitive, there are moments of originality and brilliance. My personal favourites are "Requiem pour un twisteur", "Chez les Yé-Yé', "Black Trombone" (which sounds sort of a like a lounge singer's act), "Quand Mon 6.35 me fait les yeux doux" and "Machins choses" (which strikes me as somewhat melancholy for some reason.) This is definitely a worthwhile listen/purchase.

For more Serge-related stuff (tribute albums) check out the Serge Gainsbourg CD of the Great Jewish Artists series and also the Mick Harvey CDs (with English language musical interpretations of many Gainsbourg songs).

FRENCH BEAT-JAZZ 1 May 1999
By "pathetron" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is the font of 60's french beat-jazz-pop, lyrics french but anglified in the then-current fashion, liner pictures of Serge drinking coffee alone in a parisian cafe (so much ennui!), assuredly having just been left by Brigitte Bardot or some other of his string of gorgeous internationally-famous mistresses (see Bardot's own comp recording "Bubble Gum" for the more voluptuous & free-spirited side of the parisian spectrum. If you never liked Serge before, and assuredly you have been given every reason not to ("Harley-Davidson", my god), I guarantee you'll love this. "Comic Strip", in this same series, is also very good, although the third volume "Couleur Cafe" is way too faux-ethnic for my taste.
