"Tres magnifique! This album finds a young Serge (né Lucien) running from out of the gate. Very tasteful, energetic jazz influenced chanson. While this album finds Serge to be only hinting at his Gainsbarre persona, the songs "Ce Mortel Ennui" et "L'alcool" give a hint at things to come. If you love not only Chanson Classique, but also vocal jazz this is an album for you. What a start!" - "The first album by Gainsbourg, originally issued in 1958 in 25 cm format + one studio bonus track and 4 live from 1959, recorded in the famous "Les Trois Baudets" cabaret. The arrangements by Alain Goraguer are influenced by all kinds of jazz (including Charleston or Afro-Cuban). The sound quality of this CD is great".
