Sondages.

Pour un bon bilan de fin d'année, vous prendriez bien un petit coup de sonde bien profond dans vos habitudes, quitte à vous déranger légèrement et à vous émoustiller pleinement ? Dans cet épisode, Greg de Villanova et le Président pénètrent au coeur de vos réflexions, ressentis, désirs et attentes languies au sujet du jazz en général et de l'émission en particulier. Laissez-vous surprendre, redemandez-en.

🌎 Le Président and Greg de Villanova return to their vinyl duel with full-length jazz tracks from Sir Charles Thompson to Miles Davis, Hank Mobley and Art Pepper. This set jumps from bebop and hard bop to cool jazz and spiritual jazz, with detours through Art Tatum’s near-mythic piano, Brother Jack McDuff’s soul-jazz engine, and the Parisian chill of “Masquaiero” from Ascenseur pour l’échafaud.

Water taxis pass beneath fish-carved ziggurats; automatic sluices lift floating stalls towards the Central Plaza. Along the glazed embankment, families reserve picnic steps with towels. One landing remains closed for wartime repairs.

Le Président insists their gondola fare includes passage over the Spiral Bridge. Greg de Villanova points out that boats go underneath. The ferryman holds out two damp palms.

Lester Young calls Charles Thompson ‘Sir Charles’ after he borrows a ceremonial parasol to cross the floating market. Sir Charles Thompson now expects vendors to address him accordingly, particularly when extending credit.

Herbie Hancock unrolls plans for floating nurseries beneath a pavilion. Miles Davis hired him in 1963 for his second five-person planning team. Hancock reserves the sunniest pools for children, despite objections from ornamental-eel owners.

Art Tatum opens Ben Webster’s jammed dowry chest with a shell sliver. Other locksmiths gather along the workshop channel, leaving their tools untouched. Webster checks that the engagement bracelets are still inside.

Brother Jack McDuff lets apprentice George Benson steer the supper ferry through the market moorings. His training crews launch several careers. Benson practises reversing while passengers pass skewers through the cabin windows.

Art Blakey, formerly a precision inlay craftsman, now stamps clay foundations flat with weighted boots. At the canal shrine he gives his converted name, Abdullah Ibn Buhaina, and requests another towel.

Duke Jordan examines a customs seal beneath the Exchange Courtyard lanterns. He served in Charlie Parker’s celebrated five-person inspection crew during the late forties. Today he conceals three untaxed wedding cakes.

Art Pepper paints his former wife across a floodgate, leaving every scrape visible. His early west-coast murals have smoother faces. She watches from a gondola and requests considerably larger earrings.

The Awakening, a seventies devotional collective associated with the Black Jazz cooperative, tends the Gathering Gardens. Members adjust bioluminescent prayer beds while children slip beneath their elbows to collect luminous snails.

Hank Mobley tests a hammock above the lagoon. The seller describes him as a middleweight, suitable for neither the heavy nor the light suspension. Mobley requests that she stop announcing this.

Northern-born Jimmy Deuchar shares a marriage-broker’s pavilion with overseas partners Allen Eager and Bill Byers. They compare prospective spouses on waterproof tablets while a waiting aunt rearranges the chairs into opposing banks.

Miles Davis designs cooling canopies while watching projected scenes of the courtyards they will shade. His earlier cool-roof designs remain fashionable. He pauses a wedding scene to measure the bride’s patch of sunlight.

Cecil Payne carries express petitions through the lowest submerged passages beneath the ziggurat. He worked with Dizzy Gillespie before taking this route. At each delivery hatch, he squeezes water from his official sash.

Ahmad Jamal’s uncle arranges seven shell cakes beside the workshop channel. As a child, Jamal copied his arrangements exactly on first sight. He repeats the exercise now, including the cake his uncle eats.

Herbie Mann’s supper stall progresses from southern-wetland dishes to island pepper broths and, lately, thick fermented sauces. He offers samples on reed spoons. His regulars keep their places despite the altered menu.

Don't forget to label the leftovers.
