Why Anita? She is a one of a kind singer many consider to be one of the bet jazz singers ever.

Gandi,

You are correct. Turquoise is the color. Time to get my eyes checked !

Hi Joseph, you mentioned maroon label, I thought the original Blue Serge is on turquoise label…?

Blue Serge is fabulous. Boston Blow-up is good too, but I like Blue Serge a bit more.

Capitol and Liberty mono’s had a very nice sound to them.

Joseph – Blue Serge is one of our favorites, gets played weekly. Just superb all around, Serge in sparkling form. And the sonics are super; thank you Capitol.

Yeah , I see the Anita O’Day as a bidding (Ego?) war possibility too.

On another note , I was digging through my Jazz LP’s , unseen , not played , it would seem in years , and I came across this :
Not a Blue Note, Not a Prestige, Not a Riverside or Clef,Verve ,Norgran but a….

CAPITOL !

“Blue Serge” Serge Chaloff with Sonny Clark , Joe Jones , Leroy Vinnegar.
Original Mono , Maroon Label T742.
What a wonderful LP. Listened to it twice.
I fully agree with this statement from an on line review :

“Chaloff is just ravishing to listen to; his tone has an enticing brittleness, and his style is nuanced, conversational, heavy on the use of dynamics and he always seems to be barely containing some intense explosion, to the great benefit of his playing. A must have.”

Anyone else here a fan of Serge or this LP ?
