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]

Max Cilla - La Flute Des Mornes, Volume 1 [Sofa Records]

What's the one with the bison, bottom row?

with thanks to whoever posted this a couple of weeks ago and alerted me to its existence.

He's an adopted son of Liverpool already! We'll have him. Egypt can have Sterling in exchange

Russia, home advantage and momentum.Could be interesting

Your speculation would be accurate. The solo album is particularly strong. Now for some more John Carter & Bobby Bradford Quartet - Flight For Four [Flying Dutchman]

John Carter Quintet - Night Fire [Black Saint] John Carter - A Suite Of Early American Folk Pieces For Solo Clarinet [Moers Music]

England have a creativity deficit which is why they won't get beyond the first team that doesn't. However, Southgate realises this and has done a good job of crafting a team around speed and energy and Harry Kane (and maybe Marcus Rashford). It's the best available. Last sixteen hopefully, QFs if very lucky but as an England fan I can dream of the semis and weep into my beer

Now you mention it...

Yusef Lateef - The Golden Flute [HMV, mono] possibly my favourite Lateef

That's unfair. They never looked like losing. Tunisia's only chance all evening was a penalty. Credit where credit's due. It was a good opening performance and a good sight better than many other England competition performances I can remember. They do need to do it again against Panama though

They played well, I thought. Lost the impetus in the second half but a starting win is good enough for me What's beyond belief is that they created that many!

Good first half for England. Impressive attacking but defence looks a bit uncertain. Need to convert some of these chances, obviously

John Carter - Dance Of The Love Ghosts [Gramavision] second track, side one, Carter and Ashanti drummers. Extraordinary

John Carter - Castles Of Ghana [Gramavision] time to revisit this series although I've just discovered I'm missing one. This will be rectified.

Marzette Watts - Marzette Watts & Company [ESP]

Chico Hamilton Quintet - s/t [Vogue]

Fred Katz with Paul Horn and the Chico Hamilton Quintet - Zen: The Music Of Fred Katz [Vogue]

Well played Switzerland. They weren't afraid to go after the Brazilians and deserved the draw

Viva Mexico!!

with you on that

Horace Tapscott Conducting The Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra - The Call [Nimbus West]
