Énergie.

Dans les yaourts, on peut vous vendre des bons gros morceaux de fruits, mais il n'y a que dans votre émission que les morceaux sont entiers. Alternativement projetés à la face de Greg de Villanova et du Président, ils laissent des traces. C'est l'idée de cette Battle sans pitié. Du jazz, du latin jazz, du old school, de toutes les couleurs, de toutes les tailles, et avec ou sans pépins, ça swingue. Tout ça in fine pour aboutir à un mix revigorant et parfaitement digeste.

🌎 BJG serves up full-length jazz tracks on vinyl, with Le Président and Greg de Villanova squabbling through the gaps like two crate-diggers defending the last decent pressing in Paris. This episode moves from Sonny Clark’s hard bop poise and Miles Davis’s cool-to-post-bop shift to Oliver Nelson’s arranging nous, J.J. Johnson’s trombone velocity and Jimmy Smith’s B-3 swagger, with “Stolen Moments” and “The Sermon” doing most of the heavy lifting.

Families dismantle their stone-and-ice shelters for the seasonal migration, packing carved lintels onto sledges. At the Frosted Market, a trader weighs hunting quotas against household appetites. The military has requisitioned half the draught animals.

Le Président insists their rented sledge includes a fur cushion. Greg de Villanova produces the contract, scratched onto bone. The cushion is included; permission to sit on it costs another dried fish.

At the Frosted Market, Sonny Clark’s widow exchanges his frost-patterned boot designs for whole winter pelts. During his lifetime, customers generally offered fish scraps. She keeps his original asking prices beneath the counter.

Miles Davis leaves the navigation academy before qualifying and sells route charts beside the convoy office. His blue-tinted edition outsells the official maps. He borrows the academy’s scraper to sharpen his printing block.

Kenny Drew spends his later working years inspecting ice bridges at a northern trading port, far from his birthplace. Over lunch, he corrects a local’s pronunciation while picking frozen berries from his beard.

Marco di Marco, a southern-born scent maker, has devoted customers among the migrating camps. They recognise his layered moss-and-smoke blends blindfolded. Beneath the market’s translucent roof, he conducts another fiercely disputed tasting.

J. J. Johnson threads a freight sledge through the Shivering Courtyard’s obstacle race at running speed. The judges measure its runners again. Nobody disputes the width; several dispute the turn beside the latrine.

Oliver Nelson surveys the Quiet Stream by starlight and designs entire winter settlements. This morning he moves two proposed doorways on his bone model. The newlyweds have requested greater distance from her mother.

John Coltrane died at forty, leaving six successive designs for folding shelters. At the Elder’s Hearth, his daughter unfolds the smallest for visiting children. They demand the version with the roof hatch.

Walter Bishop, Jr. now teaches sleight of hand between market appearances. His pupils practise concealing carved seals in their mittens. He checks their wrists before allowing anyone near the communal sweets.

Art Pepper reads his memoir aloud while his sister repairs their ice doorway. At the passage concerning three simultaneous engagements, she stops scraping. “Four,” she says, without turning round.

Lee Morgan’s coiled honey cakes unexpectedly sell beyond the hunting camps. The ration cooperative requests another hundred. He measures the remaining syrup while his husband quietly eats a rejected specimen behind the stone oven.

Miles Davis helped establish the settlement’s ice-cellar system. Now he installs electric warming benches in the Shivering Courtyard, arguing with former admirers who consider sitting on anything warm an unnecessary concession.

George Benson, formerly a meticulous bone engraver, now models winter coats for the caravan merchants. Admirers request his cheek markings. He lifts each hem to inspect stitching nobody else appears to notice.

Jimmy Smith demonstrates how a cumbersome electric boring machine cuts fine relief into shelter lintels. Three traditional carvers queue to borrow it. He makes each practise on a loose block before approaching anyone’s doorway.

Lonnie Smith wears a turban beneath his fur hood and runs the courtyard’s steam-powered games stall. He combines complicated moving targets with rude commentary. The elders reserve their usual hour after supper.
