  Serge's Pics and Clips   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
One of the great baritone-saxophonists and the first major soloist on that instrument to emerge since Harry Carney (he preceded Gerry Mulligan), Serge Chaloff was a drug addict during his prime years, resulting in broken friendships and lost opportunities.
Ironically when he finally got off drugs, Chaloff contracted spinal paralysis and he played his final recording session (a reunion of the Four Brothers in 1957) seated in a wheelchair.
Mosaic's 1993 limited-edition four-CD Serge Chaloff box set has all of his sessions as a leader and his exciting solos still put him near the top of his field.

 Serge Chaloff - CONNECT, Powered By Sony
Chaloff himself studied piano and clarinet before teaching himself the baritone sax in emulation of Jack Washington and Harry Carney.
However, by this time Chaloff was deep in the throes of heroin addiction, and for years after leaving the Herman band in 1949 he was considered persona non grata throughout much of the jazz community, earning an abysmal reputation for missed gigs and erratic performances.
But by the time of its release Chaloff was confined to a wheelchair, partially paralyzed as the result of a spinal tumor.

 Serge Chaloff- Blue Serge
Serge Chaloff's life was blighted by drug addiction, and after Blue Serge he managed just a few stuttering group sessions.
Blue Serge is touched by the ballsy conviction of Lester Young, a gutsy, confrontational artist noted for his racous grandstanding solos.
As Chaloff said, they just turned up and starting blowing- they were obviously all masters of the same language.

 Serge Chaloff - CONNECT, Powered By Sony
Serge Chaloff was the premier baritone saxophonist of the bop era, his fiery, dynamic improvisations restoring the instrument to prominence some months prior to the arrival of Gerry Mulligan.
Chaloff was born in Boston on November 24, 1923.

 * Dusted Reviews - Serge Chaloff *
Serge Chaloff never recorded a note with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, but that casual fact didn’t preclude him a slot in the bombastic bandleader’s popular “Kenton Presents” series for Capitol.
But there’s also the palpable presence of Chaloff’s earlier employer Woody Herman, especially in the tight boppish harmonies of pieces like “Bop the Robin” and “Sergical.” Oddly enough, it’s two standards that deliver the most concentrated and emotive solos from Chaloff.
Blue Serge, a quartet date also released on Capitol, is widely regarded as his masterstroke, but this long out of print precursor remains an exhilarating companion.

 Serge Chaloff : Blue Serge - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
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.

 Serge Chaloff - Vladimir Simosko - Used Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Serge Chaloff (1923-1957) is most widely remembered (when he is remembered at all) as the flamboyant baritone saxophone star with Woody Herman's 2nd Herd whose problems with drugs extended to erratic personal behavior.
Simosko details the life and music of Chaloff in an engaging style, from his childhood in Boston, Massachusetts, through his untimely death in 1957.
He also provides a discography of Serge Chaloff's recorded output, much of which has been made available by the 1993 Mosaic Records release of The Complete Serge Chaloff Sessions.

 Serge Chaloff | Blue Serge
One of only four available CD's by the unjustly overlooked Serge Chaloff, Blue Serge is a gorgeous, shimmering masterpiece that leaves one wondering why the baritone sax wasn't used much more often.
Chaloff's complete mastery of the instrument combines a wide range with precisely executed bop lines and tender and effusive renderings of ballads.
Chaloff's decision to have the lights turned low while recording this session can be sensed throughout, as many of the tracks exude a distinctly after-hours glow.
