Email sent for a couple of jazz CD's. For this time, I will pass on the snuff stuff!

May he rest in peace. A truly original musician.

USA 107 - Spain 100 Best Olympic basketball match... ever! Although I must recognize the US team is almost unbeatable (you must play over perfection against them during the 40 minutes), once again -it was even clearer in Beijing- the referees' criteria was biased towards NBA rules permissiveness with travelling and contact... and two out four Marc Gasol's personal fouls didn't actually exist! It was hard to see Pau Gasol sitting on the bench absolutely depressed and almost coming into tears after the match... and nice to see Kobe coming to hugh him! However, I must congratulate the US team... you're still one step further! This generation of Spanish players, doing one of their weakest tournaments, has definitely come into legend: two silvers in Olympic games, one gold in World Championships and two golds and one silver in Eurobaskets! God bless Pau, Navarro, Calderón, Felipe Reyes and the rest of the team, including those who have retired, like Garbajosa o Jiménez! Let's hope the second generation (Rudy, Marc, Ricky Rubio, Llull, Sergio Rodríguez...) can keep the flame alive for some time! I witnessed the old days great moments (4th position in the 1982 Cali World Championship, silver medal in LA '84 Olympics...) but this generation is the best bunch of players we ever had... and will have!

Good article by one of the all-time greatests... I got definitely engaged by this sport back in the very early 80's with Steve Cram, Sebastian Coe, Steve Owett, Said Aouita...

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

Alistair gets the gold medal, while the Spanish triathlete Gómez Noya gets the silver medal. Jonathan must make do with the bronze medal. Go Javier, go!!! :tup Amazing photo:

This session was included in the second Johnny Hodges Mosaic box (1956-1961).

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.
