Ok, so here we are at Wednesday and, so far this week, I have bought nine CDs (and still have two on their way via e-bay) as, today, I purchased yet another three Blue Note titles in FOPP’s £4 campaign...

How can I go wrong – apart from running out of cash at some point of course...

Paul Chambers and Art Taylor accompany each other on bass and drums respectively as they each lead their bands through some top class blowing on their respective discs...

The Kenny Drew disc features two of my favourites, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and Hank Mobley on tenor sax...

Other featured players over the discs are Kenny Burrell on guitar, Hank Jones, Wynton Kelly and, of course, Kenny Drew on piano, Dave Burns on trumpet, Stanley Turrentine on tenor sax, Carlos Valdes on congas, Sam Jones on bass and Louis Hayes on drums...

Three tasty discs...



Also bought a collection of Alistair Cooke’s essays in "Letter from America", transcripts of his excellent 15 minute radio broadcasts, which were aired from the 1940’s through until his death in 2004 – should make for some interesting reading...

Back to the footie tonight and, having the lay off last night helped a wee bit I think...

Miraculously, our team won yet again 6-2 at 8:30 but we played on for twenty minutes and still won 6-4...

Our goals included a controversial one by your correspondent where it was alleged I controlled a cross ball with my upper arm before blasting it into the net...

The bruising on my right breast testifies to the fact that the goal quite rightly stood...

The Breast of God as it were...

Back home, and I had the house to myself for some jazz listening as Anne was out with chum Michelle to see the latest chick flick smash hit, “Mamma Mia”...

Highlight of the Day : Has to be the footie again...
