Van Basten II

What's the record for most games in a set ? Gotta give credit to Roddick, showing a lot of poise and mental strenght.

At which point, do they flip a coin ?

Who's going to crack ?

They both won the set they were suuposed to lose.

Wow but not a good wow, more a wow in the sense i don't know what to say about that except feeling sadness.

Billie Jean Dirty Diana Ben

Serena won. Was the game any good for those who watched it ? Will be there tomorrow morning to cheer on Roger.

The friday night started in a fine fashion with Eleni Mandell, she has nothing to do with jazz but she still remains an excellent artist who has a great record output. Her music is not that easy to describe, it's not pop, it's not rock, it's npt country she has her own brand of music that is bewitching and quite haunting. Went to see Aaron Parks with his trio, and as someone mentionned in the thread about him, the jury is still out. Not sure if he is aiming for being a modern collective trio à la EST, a few tunes seemed to aspire to that, he has not yet found the hypnotic abilities of the late group. Technique wise, he is solid but not spectacular, which can be a good thing but i gues it's a YMMV. Also the drummer sounded like a guy who was in an electronica band.,which at times was a bit distracting and also it made a rhythm section that did not really swing, so it was a bit on the weird side, either they have not matured yet into the sound they want to acheive or they are one of those musical cerebal band that too often leave me cold. To end the night i saw Lee Konitz playing with a formation i never heard before called Minsarah. Was quite an enjoyable gig, Konitz did what he usually does by bringing his soft lyrical brand of alto music, the trio played behing him a soft and subtle swinging music which gave Lee plenty of room to solo in. Not sure that putting an acoustic set even in a small place like the Gesu is a great decision. People coughing and the chairs squeaking were too often louder than the musicians. A nice cozy way to end the night. Today André Leroux Gerald Clayton trio (That i know very little about) Brian Blade and the Fellowship

Never heard of using decoders to play DVDs, usually you can use the Windows media player if it does not take charge. Would say that the problem may be in the way you installed it

Roger to the finals

The 3rd day was an ecclectic one to say the least. Started the day with Melody Gardot, she started twenty minutes late, which led this comment from the person siiting next to me whether another car had finished her off... When she arrived , she told us that Montreal was loaded with handsome men and a lady should always make wait an handsome man, as you can see, she has a stage personna that is quite charming. Music wise it was ok, her stuff is i would describe falsely sloppy, it is soft cozy music that tries to be not calculated and tight, on a smaller stage i would have enjoyed it more but the lady is now big over here. Also because of her condition, the way they set up the lighting makes for a dark stage and you barely see the people on stage which makes for an unique atmosphere. Can't help comment that she dresses in a very sexy but ladylike way and that she is indeed quite a beauty. Arrived late to the next gig, which was a string ensemble led by violonist Angèle Dubeau doing Philip Glass music, why is it included in a jazz festival, i have no idea. Knowing nothing about classical stuff i can't really comment on it, all i can say i've mostly enjoyed the pieces originally done in the Movie The Hours. It was also the first time i heard an harp live. Would enjoy to listen more to this instrument. Finally finished my evening with Esperenza Spalding, first of all , she looks quite young, if i were a doorman in a club, not only i wouldn't let her in but i''d insist that she calls her parents to pick her up. Very dynamic and charismatic young lady, she took over the stage like an old pro. Rapping, singing, scatting while playing with quite a maestria her quite small bass. Her bow work needs more work but the rest she's quite great at laying down the groove. Not a jazz concert in the strictest sense, but mostly a succession of pieces in different styles, a bit of soul, pop, brasilian music even a bit of jazz fusion done by very enthusiastic young musicians. On an artistical point of view, she is still a young prodigy, she has yet to find somethingto sink her teeth into an artistical project that will help develop. Meanwhile, it was still a fun gig. Tonight Eleni Mandell (Seems i end up with her every year Aaron Parks Trio Lee Konitz with Minsarah

Teddy Atlas Emmanuel Steward Gil Clancy

Kinda weird never received anything either, i know it's still the beta version, the official will start in september, maybe they have reached their quota for the beta period.

Then again the web found a way to circumvent these problems

Trying to register myself again, using another email, will tell you how it works.

To the best of my knowledge that's all you need to do, i'll state the obvious but have you checked your email junk file. Only problem i had to get in was to find a name that they would accept.

Will see this gentleman in action in a few days. Anybody has seen him in action or heard his music can tell a little bit more about this fellow.

Gonna see her tonight

More importantly, fights were shown on regular networks not on premium channels that costs you plenty of dough to subscribe.

Venus is crushing Safina, we will have an all Williams final, as much i like the sistas, they make for tedious matches when they play against each other.
