Parade.

Le Président et Greg de Villanova replongent dans la tourmente de leurs vinyles les plus stylés. Chacun tire ses cartouches comme si l’histoire du Jazz tenait à un solo de plus. La 40ème battle, c’est encore et toujours l’art d’avoir toujours raison, surtout quand on a tort.

🌎 This radio show serves up full-length jazz tracks on vinyl, with Le Président and Greg de Villanova bickering merrily between sides. This set ranges from Sir Charles Thompson’s swing-to-bebop bustle on “Everybody Blues” to Herbie Hancock’s early Blue Note beginnings via Donald Byrd, then Art Tatum sparring with Ben Webster on “My Ideal”. Add Brother Jack McDuff’s hard-grooving organ, Art Blakey’s Africa-tinged “Elephant Walk”, and you’ve got proper jazz history with a grudge.

1. Everybody Blues - Sir Charles Thompson.
2. I Have a Dream - Herbie Hancock.
3. My Ideal - Art Tatum & Ben Webster.
4. Wade In the Water - Brother Jack McDuff.
5. Elephant Walk - Art Blakey.
6. Jazz Vendor - Duke Jordan.
7. The Trip (Live At The Village Vanguard) - Art Pepper.

Wax and cumin scent the humid canals between terracotta houses with gold mosaic eaves. An army-requisitioned ferry retains one civilian bench, currently occupied by six passengers and a wedding cake.

Le Président wants their purchases weighed without the jars. Greg de Villanova insists the jars are complimentary. The spice seller places both jars on the scales and resumes eating.

Sir Charles Thompson abandons ceremonial brickwork for quick-setting canal mosaics. Charlie Parker holds the stencil while Thompson presses gold tesserae round a drain the council has yet to approve.

Donald Byrd brings Herbie Hancock to the capital’s floating nurseries. Now holding his first municipal planting contract, Hancock quietly labels an exceptionally large melon with his own name.

Art Tatum spins sugar into a terracotta palace in the bazaar. Ben Webster, his breathy-voiced partner, asks each customer whose birthday it is before wrapping the more precarious towers.

Brother Jack McDuff first attracts customers while running the steam cabinet in Willis Jackson’s bathhouse. Jackson now charges spectators; McDuff steams a customer’s dumplings beside the towels.

After his conversion, Art Blakey takes the name Abdullah Ibn Buhaina. At the canal baths, he still books as Art Blakey; his old season ticket has six visits left.

Duke Jordan spends another winter drawing marsh maps across the western sea. In his rented mosaic courtyard, he teaches the neighbours to cheat at the dice game he misses.

Art Pepper, still a teenager, races for Stan Kenton’s canal team. His face appears on ration wrappers; his mother makes him cover the mosaic floor before waxing his hull.

The egg timer is running slow again.
