Confidentiel (plus bonus tracks)
CD (Item 556746) Philips/Mercury (France), 1963 — Condition: New Copy
Nothing too confidential here, given the openness that Serge Gainsbourg brings to his music – and a great early 60s session that has Serge working with spare jazz backing, courtesy of bassist Michel Gaudry and guitarist Elek Bacsik! With no other percussion, piano, or orchestral backings to support his vocals, the album is one of Serge's most intimate – a strangely personal portrait of his work, as the two stringed instruments weave webs of rhythm and melody against Serge's raspy vocals on tunes like "Maxim's", "Negative Blues", "Elaeudania Teiteia", "Chez Les Ye Ye", "Scenic Railway", and "No No Thanks No". Despite the absence of other instrumentation, the effect is wonderfully full – and the songs sparkle as much as Serge's other work from the time! CD features 11 more bonus tracks, all recorded at Theatre Des Capucines with backing from Elek Bacsik on guitar! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
