Album Review: Pour Françoise by Jimmy Parramore Alright, let’s talk about Pour Françoise, the 2011 jazz gem from Jimmy Parramore. Released under Not On Label (yeah, that’s a thing), this album feels like a warm hug from an old friend—just one who happens to be really good at playing saxophone and telling stories through music. It’s not trying too hard to impress you, but it does anyway. The tracklist? Oh man, it’s packed with gems, but two songs stood out for me in particular: “Can’t Dance With A Tombstone” and “Un Coup De Foudre.” First up, “Can’t Dance With A Tombstone.” What a title, right? The song has this slow, smoky vibe that just pulls you in. You can almost picture yourself sitting in some dimly lit club, nursing a drink while Jimmy blows his heart out on the sax. There’s something haunting yet comforting about it—it’s like he’s reminding us we’re all gonna kick it someday, so maybe don’t take life too seriously. Plus, the piano solo halfway through is smooth as butter. Like, I’d pay money just to hear that part again. Then there’s “Un Coup De Foudre,” which translates to “love at first sight.” This one’s got a totally different energy—it’s playful, light, and makes you wanna grab someone’s hand and spin ‘em around the room. The rhythm section here is tight, and Jimmy’s horn work sounds like pure joy bottled up into three minutes of magic. Every time I listen to it, I find myself smiling without even realizing it. Now, the rest of the album isn’t slacking either. Tracks like “Au Rendez-vous Des Artistes” and “La Terre A Disparu” keep things interesting with their mix of melancholy and mystery. And hey, props to Jimmy for throwing in both French and English titles—it gives the whole project this worldly charm that works perfectly. So yeah, Pour Françoise might not have been made by some big-name label, but it doesn’t need that kinda backing to shine. It’s intimate, raw, and full of soul. Honestly, listening to it felt like stumbling across a hidden café where only locals go—you feel lucky to be there. Oh, and here’s a random thought: if this album were a person, it’d probably wear a fedora tilted slightly to the side and smoke cigars responsibly. Just saying. Go check it out. You won’t regret it.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Jimmy Parramore released a jazz album in 2011 called *Pour Françoise*. It’s not tied to any big label—just an independent project. The album has a mix of tracks with intriguing titles like *Can’t Dance With A Tombstone* and *Un Coup De Foudre*. Each song feels like its own little story, blending smooth jazz vibes with a raw, personal touch. Not your typical jazz record, for sure.
