I don't see a lot of discussion about the Woody Herman Columbia upcoming set of the First Herd and Second and this promises to be a great set, esp. with Sonny Berman. I've just preordered it.

I suppose if I posted to the politics forum, I'd have more than I do and in the other areas I don't always have something to say that's worthwhile reading about.

I just picked up a couple of these (Lee Morgan and Mulligan-Farmer) from Virgin when I was in Paris but since I just got back haven't had a chance to listen yet. However, am looking forward to them.

Don't think we need it. We already have a forum devoted to that as Underground Agent indicated.

We knew that the Jazztet and Dex was coming but Dinah is a surprise to me. At least it's spread throughout the next few months.

Following up on the Spanish debacle, England should not play for the one point, as Spain did, but play as if they needed the 3 points. Anything less than a full out performance will not them a loss. It's amazing to me how coaches in both football and american football will get cautious. In american football when the coaches go into a defensive mode they play what's called a prevent defense and the saying is that the only thing a prevent defense prevents is victory.

Does Hiroshi still take international money orders. I thought he was just taking paypal. Anyway, go to a post office and tell them you need an international money order and where it has to go and that's it. Not every post office does but many do. However, paypal is much easier and less time consuming.

Some of their offering may not be all that enticing to some but Dizzy's Big 4, plus some of those senior citizens, who were trailblazers in their day, deserved to get recorded.

I knew we were in trouble tonight when I saw the referee (my apologies, Swingin Swede). That fool nearly cost us a quarterfinal victory against Ireland two years ago. Spain didn't deserve to win because they played not to lose. When you play like that, you will lose. You need to grab the proverbial bulls by the horn. The Portuguese basically took it to them and except for a few occasions I didn't see much. The one goal that Morientes scored in the tournament was nice, although a mistake by the defense. Other than that Raul and Morientes didn't show that much. Following the heels of the disaster in 98, the robbery in 2002, this is just extremely disappointing. I can hardly wait for 2006

Man, that must have been a hell of a match! I'll have to watch the replays on FSW tonight.

Great price as far as I'm concerned. Can't beat $10 or less from cd universe, as noted.

I didn't buy these games but from looking at the BBC accounts, didn't sound like the Germans played too well and looks like with a Dutch win they could be in trouble. I tell you this whole tournament is very competitive. I'm looking foward to seeing some of the games when I'm over in France next week.

Ahh, there's always one in every crowd :rsmile:

Thanks. If it comes down to number 7, Italy is in trouble

I don't know about 10 times better but I have a few and the sound is damn good, compared to normal cds and certainly the Fantasy equivalent.

I just saw the Italy Sweden game on tape delay. The first half was some of the best Italian football I've seen in a long time and finally the Swedes got their act going, which obviously cost them dearly. However, I think they have a good chance to qualify. I can't see anything less than a victory against Bulgaria. And I can really see a tie between Sweden and Denmark, which would give all three teams 5 points. I suppose it would then come down to goal differential and then, I believe goals scored. If I'm correct about the latter, Sweden would have a big advantage there.

I'm looking for this CD. Anyone have one they care to sell? If so, please Pm me. Thanks.

A very disappointing game from Spain, to say the least. We always have to suffer these kinds of games from this team. Just like against Russia, this game should have been put away. Instead we now face the distinct possibility of going home. Greece should have an easy game against Russia, putting them through, while Spain face what will be not an easy game against Portugal. A tie is all that is needed but with a desperate host team it will not be easy. If they get through, it will only lead to more disappointment.

This is the one we all recommend.

This is one of the albums brownie is referring to.

According to AMG, Carla Bley is her mother.

What instrument does Arnold play?

I'm puzzled why Fuchsia Swing Song got reissue of the year since it was available as a Mosaic until recently whereas I don't believe Ellington Uptown has been available for awhile.

Tony, Did you order these on line? If so, can you let us know where. Thanks.

All Jim has to do is say the word and I'm willing to give a couple of C notes.
