Boys and Girls..

Have been listening to loads of jazz today and this has kept playing intermediately throughout..From the famed 'When Eight Bells Toll' director Etienne Périer's film “Des Garçons et des Filles” An obscure flick chronicling a pre 1968 attempt at commune life by a group of societies disillusioned youth..The soundtrack is right on point composed by French pianist and jazz drummer Errol Parker, with the help of a young Jean-Michel Jarre. It's the title track we visit in all it's jazzscat flava courtesy of the vocal talents of Rozza Wortham. Her velvety harmonies floating throughout the impulsion of rhythm. A true jazz dancefloor classic.

You got to dig it to dig it"

Originally released in 1970 on RCA records here`s the strangly named Deirdre Wilson Tabac`s 6/8 time jazz dance cut. Lifted from their LP which contained a great funky Beatles cover version of "Get Back".The rest of the LP is a mix of funky folk and rocky jazz tracks, but this is the stand out cut for me with its soulful haunting vocals, swinging hammond and stabbing horns, an amazing tune!...Bringing back memories of sunday afternoon sweatdowns at Dingwalls with GP in london during the mid 8T`s..recently given a re-released by Jazzman records....Hope you dig it!
