well i can say that i'm very happy with the last teams qualified for the WC Kenny, you can pray for Australia to be with France on the first round and then you'll have a real chance to go through. i'm not saying the Socceroos don't have their chances, i think they do, but the easiest path is.... i'm particularly happy for Ivory Coast (i lived there for 4 years) and maybe they will be one of the surprising teams now let's see what the draws will bring to Raymond Domenech and his wonderful coaching abilities.... Marcus PS:Allez les Bleus!

Kenny, please consider 83.000 + 1 (myself) i think it's absolutely unfair the australian continent not having a direct place for the WC. Conmebol has only 10 teams affiliated for 4 places available plus this extra one. 4 years ago the Socceroos were poorly hosted in Uruguay and FIFA never did anything against the Uruguyan association Marcus

i'm just surprised Switzerland had beaten Turkey 2x0 please, can we skip France x Germany Marcus

well, be my guest hopefully one day i'll have the pleasure to welcome someone from Organissimo in Rio Marcus

btw Jim, Higgins delivers a tremendous performance of Stolen Moments. don't you think? Marcus

tony, you were faster than me Marcus

Amazon will want my liver in exchange of shipping this to Brazil but i gotta order this for me really soon the truth is that i have all the Calvin & Hobbes books in english and portuguese too Marcus

i found this one sealed in Madrid and i thought someone here would need it. got rid of the jewel case when i traveled back to Rio but disc still unplayed. the cost was 13 euros (or the equivalent in US dollars) so just add the shipping fees and it's yours. the booklet of the Johnny Smith Verve Elite is not available unfortunately but that's how i got this on ebay sometime ago. feel free to make me an offer or to propose a trade. Marcus Oliveira

i have the following items available: miles davis - porgy and bess (columbia legacy) miles davis in europe (old remaster) miles davis quintet (WMO records...1960 with Sonny Stitt) lester young with the oscar peterson trio (VME w/o booklet) the artistry of freddie hubbard (impulse! digipack) - GONE (going to France...may i slip myself in the envelope? ) Marcus

anything from Jorge Ben. it works smoothly in less than 3 minutes Marcus

getting a black box delivered in Rio for an affordable price is my main concern nowadays so i'm on the same diet as you Ron Marcus

For me, everything about this album is right: - Great compositions, pride of place for me being 'Stolen Moments' and 'Cascades'. - Wonderful arranging for the saxophones. As a result the band sounds a lot bigger than it actually is. The big sound contributed by Nelson on tenor and George Barrow on baritone helps immesurably. - Phenomenal soloing by Eric Dolphy and Freddie Hubbard. Some of their best on record. - Incredible recording. RVG manages to pin down a very cool and somewhat misterious mood (helped immensely by Roy Haynes' brushwork on the title track). Creed Taylor's finest hour as producer. What more can I say? ←

Hi Chris, i got your disc today, thanks a lot!!! Marcus

go for it!

when i met Agustin in Madrid 10 days ago he told me enthousiastically about this particular project and all the hard work to make it real. so far i've never reached to convince anyone that jazz is good so any kind of effort to do it will always have my full respect. knowing the concept and target audience of the list i believe that a newbie would have a decent way to start on the vast world of jazz based on it. comparing the list with my collection i noticed that... 1917-1942 - i only have the boxset of Billie Holiday 43-59 - i have 9 60-79 - i have 8 80-2000 - i only have both Jarrett albums and they don't do that much for me the list only confirms that i'm not in love with jazz pre-40s, even if i do respect a lot that period and the major artists for the period 80-2000 mentioned are not my cup of tea and i don't have any prejudice for the jazz produced in the last quarter of century. build a list like that for a Brazilian audience woulda been much harder so i can only encourage Agustin and his friends to keep up with their good work Marcus Oliveira

Happy Birthday
