Paris has twenty arrondissements and they spiral clockwise from the Louvre like a snail shell. A man and a woman work through the rest of it over one coffee: the tax wall that made the city murmur, boulevards cut too wide for barricades, six million skeletons under the fourteenth, and asphalt poured over the cobbles. Everything in it is true.

The Snail Starts At The Louvre

Style

Smooth, intimate Parisian café jazz at 112 BPM swung 4/4, with drums forward in the mix building to a full drum break, walking upright bass, Rhodes, muted trumpet and tenor sax, and male and female leads alternating verses in French-accented English with plain unison choruses.
