Review by Alex Postelnek

Album Review: Des Garçons Et Des Filles by Errol Parker (1967) If you’re looking for an album that feels like sipping espresso in a smoky Parisian café while some philosopher drones on about love and existential dread, then Errol Parker’s Des Garçons Et Des Filles is your golden ticket. Released in 1967, this French gem blends jazz, soul-jazz, modal vibes, and even a dash of soundtrack flair—like it was written for a movie we all wish existed. Now, let’s talk tracks. First up: “Solange.” Oh man, this one hits different. It’s smooth as butter but with just enough edge to keep things interesting. The vocals from Errol Parker himself are dripping with charm, and Rozaa Wortham adds this sultry layer that makes you want to grab someone’s hand (or maybe just yours) and sway awkwardly in your living room. I remember this track because it’s got that timeless quality—you could play it at a party today, and no one would bat an eye. Except maybe the guy who insists he only listens to obscure indie bands from Iceland. Then there’s “Des Garçons Et Des Filles,” the title track. This one's kinda sneaky—it starts off mellow, almost lulling you into thinking, "Oh cool, chill jazz music," but then BAM! A saxophone solo slides in like it owns the place, and suddenly you're not just listening anymore; you're feeling. There’s something about how the melody dances between carefree and bittersweet that sticks with you long after the needle lifts off the record. Or, y’know, after you hit pause on Spotify. The whole vibe of the album is helped along by its cover art, which screams ‘60s chic thanks to Ferracci’s design skills. Honestly, if I had walls big enough, I’d frame the cover and hang it somewhere fancy-looking. And props to Errol Parker for writing these tunes—they’ve aged better than most of us ever will. So yeah, Des Garçons Et Des Filles isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s charming, soulful, and unapologetically itself. Listening to it feels like flipping through old photographs of people you’ve never met but somehow understand. Weird flex, I know. Final thought? If Errol Parker were alive today, I bet he’d have TikTok blowing up with snippets of his songs. But since he’s not, do yourself a favor and give this album a spin. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find yourself humming “Solange” while waiting in line at Starbucks tomorrow. Or maybe you won't. Either way, life’s too short not to enjoy good music.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Des Garçons Et Des Filles* by Errol Parker is a hidden gem from 1967. It blends soul-jazz, soundtrack vibes, and modal jazz, creating this lush, cinematic feel. Fun fact—Errol Parker not only sang on it but also wrote all the tracks. One of the standout songs, *Solange*, feels like it could’ve been ripped straight from a moody French film. And get this: the cover art was done by Ferracci, adding that perfect visual touch to match the music’s vibe. Released in France, it bounced between labels like Decca and Universal Music Jazz France, but its charm has endured for decades.
