Mawashi-geri

Le coup de pied tournant, interdit dans cette émission, a pourtant été utilisé à de multiples reprises par vos deux adversaires dans cet opus. Greg de Villanova et le Président exagèrent. Ils ne respectent aucunes règles sous le prétexte fallacieux que c'est eux qui les font. Du jazz, du vieux, du jeune, de la bêtetméchanceté.

🌎 Your podcast lands as a properly unruly FM jazz duel: full-length jazz tracks on vinyl, with Le Président and Greg de Villanova trading Parisian side-eye between tunes. This set moves from Harold Land’s hard bop poise in “Nieta” to Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller and Art Blakey at full throttle, with a neat detour via Dizzy Gillespie, Red Garland and Dexter Gordon. Bebop, hard bop and modern jazz, minus the polite bits.

Vine-covered earth mounds rise above the river markets; carved wooden verandas drip onto fruit stalls. Since the fighting closed the eastern channel, passenger barges unload between the flower sellers.

Le Président claims the shaded end of a carved bench. Greg de Villanova produces the market receipt: he has hired the whole bench, including the patch currently occupied by Le Président.

Harold Land works the upper landing with Clifford Brown and Max Roach, in a crew of five. He steadies honeymooners boarding the floating bridal chamber; their luggage requires a second raft.

Danish-born Kai Winding now arbitrates the capital’s most expensive boundary disputes. In the Southern Mound Garden, he measures an encroaching vine while both neighbours offer him increasingly elaborate fruit platters.

Sonny Criss watches collectors inspect his early cooking pots in the Grand Market. Nobody bought them originally. He eats pickled flowers from the remaining example and declines to empty it.

Curtis Fuller helped John Coltrane build the Blue Train along the mound causeway. Today he rides it to meet his sweetheart, carrying a flowering creeper which requires its own ticket.

Philippe Sarde supplies painted backdrops to nearly every picture-house along the river. Outside his carved wooden workshop, three newlyweds wait beneath the same artificial moon while he changes the names.

Art Blakey taught himself feast management and ran his own serving crew at fourteen. At the Riverfront Plaza, he checks six steaming clay ovens without releasing his plate of honey fritters.

Ronnie Laws serves river oysters with sweet upland bean paste, attracting two argumentative sets of regulars. His brother Hubert Laws grows the hollow reeds through which customers suck the sauce.

Donald Byrd attended the river capital’s public schools before earning two degrees. He now examines mound foundations; his former teacher insists on checking his calculations over lunch in the Crafting Quarter.

Lee Morgan’s sister gave him his first blowpipe as a young teenager. By fifteen he earned money clearing fruit beetles; today she demands the family discount, pointing beneath her veranda.

Art Blakey’s first notable capital engagement was with Mary Lou Williams’s bathing establishment. He still visits her vine-screened pool, where his old staff privilege covers towels but not scented mud.

At eighteen, Lee Morgan joins Dizzy Gillespie’s aerial fruit-picking company. Gillespie repeatedly sends him above the market canopy; Morgan’s cousins gather below, ostensibly to inspect the safety nets.

Dizzy Gillespie took up competitive pole-vaulting at fourteen after briefly trying stilts. On the Southern Mound Garden’s lowest terrace, he demonstrates his grip to someone who only asks for directions.

Red Garland’s square, tightly layered honey cakes are the signature indulgence at Miles Davis’s five-table eating house. With sugar shipments delayed, Garland quietly makes the squares smaller, not thinner.

Dexter Gordon’s first major job was with Lionel Hampton’s travelling perfumery. Illinois Jacquet commandeered most demonstrations. At their riverfront stall, Gordon still holds the scent strips while Jacquet addresses a queue.

Must do something about the draught.
