EKE BBB

I bought it a few days ago. One more gem to add to his awesome production over 65 years.

His ebullient inventiveness and technical ability is awesome, at his age! (he was 90 by the time of this recording). I simply love MS: his deconstruction of standards, the way he plays with the melody... And he is a very nice guy. After one of his concerts in Madrid (at the sadly gone Johnny), I was lucky to meet him, had some talk with him and take a picture with some friends. We had some brief email correspondence afterwards, mainly on his relationship with Tete Montoliu... I wish we had MS for many more years!!!!

Thanks, Brad, sidewinder, brownie and Hardbopjazz!

Many thanks, guys!!!

Congrats, brownie. Well deserved title. No doubt France is currently the best team, by far. Deschamps was a bit mean in his strategy, though. France played only by gusts... the rest was insurmountable defence.

Hope the Croatians give us a good match in two hours!

2-0. Now it’s done.

Zzzzzzzz... soporific match.
