The narrow, mustard-colored building at the corner of rue de la Huchette and rue du Chat-qui-Pêche carries a sign featuring a carved cat fishing in the Seine. This structure occupies one of the thinnest plots in Paris, a result of medieval street planning that squeezed residences into slivers of space. In nineteen fifty-seven, it housed a legendary jazz cellar where Don Cherry and Bud Powell performed nightly. The cramped basement space defined the underground rhythm of the Latin Quarter for a generation.
