About this item

In 1964 and 1966, when Serge Gainsbourg took part in two public radio recordings, he was undoubtedly the star of the evening. In his own words, this marked the end of his "blue period", a mix of left-bank chanson, jazz influences and exotic rhythms. Alone at the piano or accompanied by guitar and double bass, Gainsbourg masterfully takes on the roles of disappointed lover and disillusioned cynic alike.
