  3. Finals never really are the greatest games, but if you didn't sit in awe of the way Barça hold on to the ball you probably will never like football. It was a lesson in the importence of possession, if you have the ball there is very little chance of the opposition doing you any damage and if you don't give it away easily there's even less chance again. United were exposed big time, they are not nearly as good as they were last year, all this "best United team ever" thing is bullshit. Of course Barça was brilliant in terms of passing the ball,although they lacked a bit in the finishing touch department, but in terms of greatness we saw finals deliver a bit more, to have a great final imo we need some drama for that we need two teams being able to able to hurt the opponent or play at the same level. This year except for the first minutes MU was out of contention. Last year final was a fine example of a dramatic game, best example of a great final is of couse the extraordinary Liverpool-Alaves UEFA cup final that took place some years ago
  4. Can't say it was the greatest game i ever saw but sure happy about the result, the first 10 minutes were kinda scary, but after that a burst of genius by Iniesta and Eto'o followed by outstanding work by the Barça nidfielders and the repeat hopes were gone for MU.

  6. For those who are interested the whole inside programmation is out. It is certainly an improvement over last year(wasn't hard to beat). Although it still is a bit right wing and a few many repeats ( Brubeck, Oliver Jones, Buddy Guy). There is still some great stuff. And it is possible to build up a great line up listening to mostly jazz The invitation series brings trumpet player Eric Truffaz who will repeat his latest recorded project which was 3 gigs with differents sidemen in 3 different cities. Joshua Redman will play in three different settings, among them a date with with Joe Lovano, Greg Hutchinson, Reuben Rogers, Sam Yahel he will also try to recreate his CD Compass bringing the two bassist and two drummers. Finally extraordinary master of the double-bass Renaud Garcia-Fons who was the stand out last year will have three nights to showcase his ample talent. The other top serie this year is of course Jazz dans la nuit, which will allow us to finish our evenings in flying colors, among the top names showcased will be Greg Osby, the duet Bollani-Rava, Baptiste Trotignon with Mark Turner as a sideman, Lee Konitz, Brian Blade and Fellowship, Bojan Z, a duet with Bill Charlap and Houston Person. The remaining big names of the other series are a bit more on the conventional side but let's mention Organissimo's fav Wynton Marsalis with Chano Dominguez, Wayne Shorter and his great quartet, Rubalcaba with Holland and co,Chucho Valdes, Ornette Coleman, the Maria Schneider Orchestra a few thematic gigs showcasing the music of Miles Davis and plenty of others. For those who are interested in discovering the local talent that will be showcased, i will single out, two gigs, first pianist Julie Lamontagne who will have as a guest Donny McCaslin, Julie is one of our current best pianist , she has a very modern sound and is quite a good technician . And the one is a guy i've been waiting for years to show his stuff as a top men ,the fine tenor sax Anfré Leroux will finally have his name on the top of the bill as he will showcase music from his first cd as a leader. Check him out because they are very few who have a sound as sweet as him.In the sad news the serie Contemporary jazz does not exist, so any left field music has been evaporated from the programmation, and we'll have plenty of uninteresting singers for lazy people who still need lyrics. http://www.montrealjazzfest.com/program/co...cted=2009-06-30

  19. Don't know what made Jazzmoose click, but the Premier league has a more frantic way of playing than other leagues, it has a bit of the same nervous energy than pro basketball or ice hockey while other championships have of a more slowed down pace
