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.

If you consider lp recorded onto cds bottlegs, then I have less than 5, othewise 0. I'm pretty scrupulous about that.

Last couple of days I've been listening to the Arranger's Touch, 2 lp set of Gil Evans and Tadd Dameron. Great Gil but even better Tadd.

Well, I just plunked down $20 for the Spain-Greece game. Fortunately there's a few games on FSW in the next few days and then I'm going to Europe on vacation so hopefully I'll catch the remainder there.

Do you mean every two fer they ever did or just the recent ones. If the latter, besides the ones you mention, there's Harold Mabern, Junior Mance and Johnny Hammond Smith.

You and me and everybody on this board, brother

To the point I would say. No wasted words.

No love for Sonny? This is one of my favorite Mosaics (next to the Mobley). I would rate this over the JJ although I like that one very much. But if the reason to buy is because it might go oop soon, yeah, it might go oop but you can always pick it up when it does. The music on the Sonny Mosaic shows him in his prime in a variety of settings and his Roulette work took place as he was also recording his Verve sides.

Spain is my team (having lived in Madrid and Barcelona, and Real is also my team but don't get me started on that subject) and I saw Saturday's game and like you wasn't happy with what I saw. They had incredible energy in the first 15 minutes or so but couldn't get anything close to a good shot. The passing seemed to be off. The way they were playing they should have won 4-0. The Russians were very inexperienced so they're lucky. I don't think they'll be able to get away with that with the Greeks so let's hope they're a little better. Dmitry, I've checked and the Spanish stations don't have it. Except for a few games on Fox Sports World, it costs almost $20 a game. I think FSW will have the quarters, semis and final on tape delay, but that's it.

The Granz Jelly, I mean Jam, Sessions will be coming out on October 5.

A couple of years ago, I had some dealings with a jazz fan in Canada named John Tracey who is an expert on Basie (his handle is basie nut) and has everything issued by him and probably a lot of what's been written about him. At my suggestion, he joined the old BNBB and participated in some Basie threads but didn't join this Board, to my knowledge. If you want his email, please send me a pm.

Yesterday's game was a heartbreaker. Too lose to France in the last couple of minutes. I'm not sure England can come back. Shades of Man U - Bayern Munich of a few years ago.
