Boston Blow–Up!
Boston Blow–Up! is an album by jazz baritone saxophonist Serge Chaloff. Capitol Records released the album in 1955. It was recorded on April 4 and 5, 1955 at Capitol Studios in New York City. Stan Kenton produced the album as part of his "Kenton Presents" series.[1] Reception
David Szatmary, writing for the All Music Guide to Jazz, describes Boston Blow–Up! as a "swinging, boppish session from a musician who was once a mainstay of Woody Herman's band."[2] Richard Cook and Brian Morton of The Penguin Guide to Jazz include the Definitive Records pairing of Blue Serge with Boston Blow–Up! as part of a suggested "Core Collection", and give the combined release a four-star rating (of a possible four).[3] The Penguin Guide notes that while Boston Blow-Up! is less exciting than Blue Serge, its rendition of "Body and Soul" is "scorching".[3] Scott Yanow, writing for Allmusic.com, describes Boston Blow–Up! as an "excellent session" on which Chaloff "is very much in prime form".[4] Track listingAll music is composed by Boots Mussulli, except where noted
