Baritonist Serge Chaloff's final recording as a leader was his best, this quartet outing with pianist Sonny Clark, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Philly Joe Jones. Chaloff had already contracted the spinal paralysis that would kill him a year later but there is no hint of any weakness on the date. Whether it be "The Goof and I," "I've Got the World on a String" or a beautiful rendition of "Stairway to the Stars," this recording features Serge Chaloff at his best. (Scott Yanow) Serge Chaloff (baritone saxophone), Leroy Vinnegar (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums), Sonny Clark (piano). 8 Tracks (incl. 1 Bonus Track). Recorded at Capitol Studios, Los Angeles on March 14 and March 16, 1956.
