Record.

Ici vous découvrirez comment Greg de Villanova et le Président dans leur lutte à mort n'oublient pas de battre des records. Ainsi, vers la fin de cette heure d'émission d'été, les tablettes s'affolent : 18 minutes. 18 minutes de quoi ? À vous d'écouter ! (Mais vous vous en doutez.)

🌎 Battle Jazz Galactica serves up full-length jazz tracks on vinyl, with Le Président and Greg de Villanova trading Parisian snipes between records. This set moves from Sonny Rollins’s Harlem-bred bebop poise on “Hold’em Joe” to Jutta Hipp’s stark “Just Blues”, then into hard bop and beyond with Curtis Fuller, Art Farmer and John Coltrane. Michel Roques and Hal Singer & Jef Gilson add the useful wrinkle: French jazz talking back to America, and vice versa.

1. Hold’em Joe - Sonny Rollins.
2. Just Blues - Jutta Hipp.
3. Le cri - Michel Roques.
4. Two Different Worlds - Curtis Fuller.
5. Change Partners - Art Farmer.
6. Olé - John Coltrane.
7. Garvey’s Strut - Hal Singer & Jef Gilson.

Mist beads on the weathered murals of terraced mudbrick houses. Below the ziggurat, traders prop their awnings with old spear shafts; requisition notices leave barely enough wall for marriage announcements.

Le Président insists their rented roof terrace includes the fig tree. Greg de Villanova produces a clay lease specifying shade only, then moves his chair beneath the disputed fruit.

Sonny Rollins grew up between the Savoy baths and Apollo wrestling court. He still copies Coleman Hawkins’s victory pose while his daughter pins his robe above the market’s wet mudbrick steps.

Jutta Hipp leaves professional seal-cutting after a brief career across the ocean. In the Artisan Workshop, she now makes clay pigs for friends, refusing payment but accepting dates.

Michel Roques eats at formal temple banquets, communal terrace suppers and experimental kitchens. Tonight, beside the Old Marketplace, he holds a perforated clay bowl beneath a stallholder’s latest invention: custard mist.

Curtis Fuller, indispensable to Art Blakey’s message runners, knows every terrace stair. With the evening dispatch delayed by military requisitions, he uses the ziggurat steps to teach his nephew leapfrog.

Art Farmer jointly runs the wedding office with Benny Golson. At the Great Ziggurat Base, they press prospective couples’ thumbs into clay; Farmer discreetly turns one tablet round for a reconsideration.

John Coltrane settled on Philadelphia Terrace in 1943, meeting Jimmy Heath and Benny Golson among its crowded courtyards. At dusk, the three reserve their promenade seats with conspicuously oversized lunch jars.

Hal Singer, from the American enclave, and Jef Gilson, from the French quarter, share a market stall. They exchange pickles across its clay partition, each quietly removing the other’s price labels.

The garlic press needs attention.
