When Rudisha first beat Wilson Kipketer's former world record (1:41:11) back in 2010, experts said he would be the first human being going under the mythical 1:40. Now, with three consecutive new world records, he's on his way to legend!

On the other hand, the handball quarter finals...

Brownie, did you watch the France-Spain basketball match on Wednesday? With all due respect (to you, not to your national team), it was yet another pathetic performance by the French team against Spain, losing the match by themselves, and finally acting like idiots or beasts, attacking the Spanish players like karateists!

What a company you got, Allen! Apart from being excellent and polyvalent musicians and thorough researchers, Kellso and Porter are a couple of wonderful human beings!

The July issue (#62) of the Dutch jazz research magazine "Names & Numbers" includes a very interesting article called "Leola Fenton - A forgotten stride pianist", researched and written by Howard Rye and Robert Ford: http://www.names-and-numbers.nl/Frameset.html Hans Koert's "Hit of the Week - Durium Project" blog includes two different posts on this obscure pianist and arranger, with references to her "St. Louis Blues" piano version, included in the 2cd set "Complete Hit of the Week Recordings" issued by Archeophone in 2011. http://hitoftheweek.blogspot.com.es/ Best regards, Agustín

Most boring edition in decades!

Mingus. Really.

Big thanks!!! Looking back to those old posts from 2005 (oh, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that noooow"), we've been in this forum for sooooo long!

I have that material in several different sets (MoJ, King Jazz, Fremeaux, Columbia box...), but will get the Mosaic as well. Desert island music, worthy of one thousand different issues! Thanks for the good news.

Agreed! Definitely, this a very different Italian team, far from their usual stinginess and ultradefensive playing. And Pirlo is in his second youthness... what a player! Italy-Germany should be a great match! Hope La Roja will be able to beat "The Beast" and the rest of the Portuguese team.

Always making us dip into our pockets, eh? . . . . . . . . . :tup :tup Thanks for the hint!!! I saw it in the FSR mail, but didn't check the discographical details and thought it was all included in the Mosaic box.
