  1. George Lewis did I think 9 albums for Verve in 1956-1960, roughly the same time Ory recorded for Verve. AFAIK only one album has been out on a Japanese CD. A Mosaic box of those recordings would be a nice sequel to both the OOP Ory Verve box and the OOP Lewis Blue Note box.
  2. Spain-Germany 1-0 Good match and worthy champions.
  3. Newfound footage of Bird and Diz playing
  4. Spain outclassed Russia and very deservedly went to the final, their first since 1984 (unlike Germany...). Russia didn't look nearly as good as in the last couple of matches, but perhaps Spain simply was adept at neutralizing Russia's strengths.
  5. As you know, Spain and Russia already met in the first group match, with Spain winning convincingly with 4-1. Russia with Arshavin is a much better team now though. Judging by how the quarter finals looked, I would almost hold Russia as the favourite tonight.
  6. There could apparently be a thread about album covers showing animals in hats.
  7. As Lineker said...
  8. Amazing first half by the Turks, but Schweinsteiger saves Germany.
  9. Turkey has nine players unavailable tonight, including Nihat who scored both late goals against Czechia. They are even talking about throwing in the third goalkeeper as a forward. Anything but a German victory is inconceivable.
  10. The Complete Oscar Peterson Verve & Pablo Sessions
  11. The Dizzy set has been discussed before: Monk with Dizzy Gillespie's big band, 1946 Spotlite Here's what Chuck wrote then: Since the Uptown comes directly from the original acetates and not via cassette dubs and LPs, I think we can look forward to improved sound.
  12. And as we know, Paul being in the trunk is a clue that the real Paul is dead.
