Ha, you should see the number of (early) Elvis recordings in my collection!

It's one of the better late-period Hawk albums. For what it's worth, the Penguin Guide (6th ed.) gives it 4 stars, AMG four and a half.

I think you should get Body and Soul, it is THE classic Hawk recording! (By the way, it celebrates its 65th birthday on October 11) Anyone with even the remotest interest in jazz tenor saxophone should have it, it's a milestone. Hans, is this disc good enough to get, even if might go the Chronological Classics way some day? I think it is. The recordings were remastered from the original metal parts and mastertapes at the RCA Studios. It contains 19 tracks: 4 recordings (including Body and Soul) from 1939, 4 from 1940, 2 from 1946, 4 from 1947, and 5 (2 with strings) from 1956. The usual disclaimers apply, of course It's available from CD Universe ($9.99) and CDConnection - and others, of course.

This one's absolutely essential, of course (in spite of the 1950s recordings with strings), since it contains the classic 1939 recording of Body and Soul: Body and Soul - RCA Also essential: Coleman Hawkins / Chu Berry - Tenor Giants - Commodore The Essential Keynote Collection, Vol.6: The Complete Coleman Hawkins - 4CD, EmArcy Hollywood Stampede - Capitol

I also got 250+ Org notifications... A notification saved is a notification gained?

Hold a mirror up to that thought. Exactly.

Jazzmatazz' Alan Lankin will have the details - his site has CDU links.

I still think the Czechs have a better team than Greece, but they missed too many chances tonight.

...And the "Today's active topics" search also seems to be working again.

The "View new posts" search seems to be working again.

My thoughts exactly.

That's exactly what I was thinking... I think the Portuguese have the better team though. On second thoughts, that doesn't mean much in this tournament...

Good grief, what an ending: Czech Republic 0, Greece 1 in the last minute of the first period of extra time! It's the silver goal, so we'll have a Portugal vs. Greece final on Sunday!

Excellent news Jim. If you need more donations, just let us know.

They sure were so far.

Full time after a much more entertaining second half, though not with good football: Czech Republic 0, Greece 0 Game goes into extra time.

Seconded!

rubbish, of course

...some say it's in my nature...

we'll know from your increased posting frequency in the "listening to" thread when they return and will want to know what it's like to have them overhauled. Pity the tournament will be over by then and you won't be able to watch it de-grumpified. I will remain grumpified for a long, long time...

You're being very harsh for this lively confrontation! I can't deny I was a bit bored... drink more, it helps... Still more coffee?? I'm having my fifth now... and you're still not shaking out off your chair?! good grief! I'm drinking harder stuff. It obviously shows
