Terrific performance by Morocco, great finish by Aspas getting Spain off the hook. I thought Spain looked oddly non penetrative for much of that game but they win the group

Gunter Hampel Quintet - Heartplants [Saba]

poor losers

maybe heading England's way. Could be interesting. On that evidence I'd prefer Senegal or Japan

£750 tough at the moment on Discogs! The Centrifuga folks have done a very nice job of it, I think

Niels Viggo Bentzon - Third Stream Music [Centrifuga] another excellent reissue from this label

Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds [Transatlantic]

Professional job by England. You can only beat the opposition you're drawn against and they did that with plenty to spare. The next match is the next test

And at last a ref brave enough to make a decision on all the holding

Doing the job required very well. Can't ask for more than that

I hear PSG have made a bid Great free kick. You can never count out any German side

Mexico looking good today. Great counter-attacking play

finally got this and the other new release. Always a good day when I enter Threadgill's world anew

Yusef Lateef - Live At Pep's [Impulse] thanks Adrian for the prompt upthread to get this at last

Just been informed that Carla's Trio date in London has been cancelled due to medical advice that she's not to fly. Here's hoping it's something not too serious

That was a rough match, some nasty tackles. Well deserved win for Croatia who will beat better teams than Argentina in this competition

Yes, flashes of inspiration from Greizmann and Mbappe. The team looked better set up than in their first match with Giroud leading the forward line. I'm hoping to see them fulfil their potential, as long as that's not against England A pity to say goodbye to Peru who played attractive football and had great fans

Appreciate the offer, I'll let you know if I go that route

Time to give it another try, I think. I've struggled with his output since 'No Method...' which I absolutely love as I do most of his other releases up to it I just don't hear any depth either to the music, it all seems reduced to the barest ingredients, or to the lyrics of which there seems to be far too many moaning about having to be a misunderstood rock star. At each release I listen expectantly for it to be the one but not yet, for me at least.

Grachan Moncur III - Evolution [Blue Note, mono] one man's VG+ is another man's VG...to return or not, that is the question.

John Carter - Shadows On A Wall [Gramavision] One of today's arrivals, testament to record collecting in the online age. The missing instalment of the series delivered from the continent in a matter of days. Well done Deutsche Post and Royal Mail!

Michael Naura - Vanessa [ECM] I've not listened to this in ages. It's sounding good today

I do, thanks duaneiac

Thank you soulpope, interesting now listening to James Newton - Water Mystery [Gramavision]
