Vortex.

Le Président pense que le free jazz c'est ce qui passe quand il oublie de payer Deezer. Greg de Villanova croit que "Coltrane" est une marque de cigarettes trop cool. À eux deux ils réinventent le jazz… sans jamais s'accorder.

🌎 Battle Jazz Galactica keeps the vinyl duel properly messy here: full-length jazz tracks, plus those brief French sparring sessions between Le Président and Greg de Villanova. Bobby Timmons brings the gospel heat of Soul Time, Joe Henderson Sextet turns Nardis into post-bop business, while Grant Green’s If I Should Lose You and Miles Davis’s Right Off keep the blues, soul jazz and hard bop pressure on. Hamsa and Richard Raux finish with À Coltrane.

1. Soul Time - Bobby Timmons.

3. If I Should Lose You - Grant Green.
4. Mamacita - Joe Henderson.

Caravan dust hangs between sandstone towers and striped awnings. At the city gates, scribes check spice manifests against clay seals; wartime requisitions keep the wheelwrights busy.

Le Président insists their tea counts as a drink; Greg de Villanova calls it a sweet. The café’s tax clerk waits with two stamps. The spoon remains upright.

Bobby Timmons stamps temple blessings into his honey buns. Beneath the bazaar’s striped awnings, rival bakers copy the lettering; he lends one his stamp in exchange for pistachios.

At the Stone Café, Joe Henderson watches six scribes play his two games, now city tournament standards. His nephew conceals a counter beneath a saucer of thick, sweetened tea.

Grant Green shows his daughter his earliest toys: a rocking camel and a rolling cart, both built around blue-clay cores. In Artisan’s Alley, she requests something that flies.

Miles Davis practises dives in the municipal cistern before it opens for washing. His comeback began at the 1955 port fair; the prestigious merchant baths now reserve him a towel.

Richard Raux, formerly of Magma’s founding excavation crew, shares sugared apricots with Hamsa under the atrium arches. They left Jacques Higelin’s banquet service when he forbade individually decorated puddings.
