The interest of this 5e disk period Alain Goraguer-Jazz, that's what skinning, these compositions to orchestrations near the bone, without the least frills. Cleared of the uselessness of duty please and sell. For reasons not cost money to the record company probably also, let's be honest, given the limited success of the preceding four patties ... Jazz guitar (thank you Alek Bacsik), bass (Michel Gaudry, sober) , singing. Point. What is "it has no arrangement with Goraguer". Here, no need to piano movers, or strings to hang himself. The delicate touch and elegant intelligence Bacsik, discreet and reassuring seat Gaudry to save the furniture. At least so I hope, Serge.
A Gainsbourg rough, as atrophied in form but surprisingly amplified on the bottom. Gainsbourg solitude. The absolute opposite of Gainsbarre 80s Too rough pianist to play these discs clean. Too self-taught musician to harmonize the composition and tweaking a single orchestration. Rough, draft, without ropes; but the guy has taste. That's something.
Even if Gainsbourg bare is only taken into default, not whereof fill the rooms. Much less the bank account. SG soon 36 years old and art still does not pay his man. Last flirt with jazz, without Goraguer so. Absolute Bide: 1500 copies sold in 1964! It makes you flinguer ...
In 1964 following the last disc with Goraguer ("Gainsbourg Percussions", not jazz but "world music"). Then it is THE single scathing which changes the face of Lucien / Serge: "Wax doll, doll his" sung by France Gall (Eurovision 1965) and yet arranged by Goraguer before the definitive rupture. SG back his jacket was lined with mink ... Phew!
The accursed poet, the Vian discount turns into dandy highwaymen.
But that's another story ...
