Tune of the Day

"Blue Rondo a la Turk"  on the Two Generations of Brubeck album.  Wow.

There are many fine versions of this tune, but this one gets me dancing, clapping, fist-pounding, whatever, every time....and it's not easy to dance in, what, 9/8?  I love tunes that grow, build, develop, and move through changes.  This one just picks me up and takes me right along with it.  Great melding of jazz and rock idioms, too.  It's fun to imagine Dave Brubeck setting the groove and then sitting back to hear where his kids and their friends take it. 

You can continue exploring Dave and the kids on Two Generations of Brubeck, "The Great Spirit Made Us All".  And Chris Brubeck's rock/jazz band Sky King on "Secret Sauce".

For extra credit, give a "spin" to Chase, "Bochawa" from their last album, Pure Music.

Anyway, that's my two cents today.

slaw,
I will check into M. Ward's version. I also agree that Ronnie's passing was glossed over considering the circumstances. He was one of my favorites and a major influence. 

mofimadness,
How much snow? And I really like the "old" REO stuff. Although I don't have any snow, the temp here was 9° in the yesterday morning and today it's already 52°! But I will play "Snowblind" by Styx in solidarity. 

Next up, Rory Gallagher, "Jacknife Beat".

@nutty....we got about a foot.  High temp today is supposed to 3 above, the low around a -15.  I also really like the original REO.  "One", "Two" and "Ridin' The Storm Out" are my favorites.
