The Jazziest Ribs in Town – Memories Through the Eyes of my City

In Montreal’s ear, on Bishop Street’s beat

Lay Biddles Jazz & Ribs, a legendary retreat

Where the notes of saxophones, trumpets, and drums

Echo in the air, as if played by the gods’ thumbs

The room was alive with jazz’s wild energy

A smoky haze danced with the melody

And in the dim light, one could see

The greats who’ve graced that stage, wild and free

Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Coltrane

Their music echoes still, a vibrant refrain

Each note a story, each riff a tale

Of the jazz era’s triumphs and travails

Their music took us to another place

A world of improvisation and grace

Where the soul of humanity was laid bare

In the syncopated rhythm and the wailing flare

Biddles Jazz & Ribs, a place of mythic fame

Where jazz’s legends found fortune and acclaim

And though that stage is now empty, the music still rings

Echoing through time, like a song that forever sings
