BC over Sask Edmonton over Ottawa I'm picking all four home teams this week, but I think all four would win if they were on the road.  

I received my set yesterday from our Belgian store and played Photon. A very nice track indeed.

I picked it up primarily for the 4 discs from the Australian leg of the tour - the box was relatively cheap here considering it was a 36CD set

Volume 8 is all items covered by the two Mosaic 30's Ellington sets.

I'm glad I got a review copy of it when it was published. It's worth the read. I learned that Iola Brubeck's book wasn't suitable for publishing, it wasn't fleshed out with the kind of anecdotes and background that a biography needs. It was a family decision.
