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.

reubent,

Thanks for posting those links. I remember checking out their later releases a while back and it's been long enough now that I can't remember if they were available on vinyl at all, or just out at that time. They do have some great music. Love Cracker as well.

"Crin", by Patricia Kopatchinskaja, on her "Rapsodia" album.  Wild and crazy violinist playing a short but fascinating piece.  It's on both Tidal and Spotify.  If you like it, try also "Something With Voice" on her "Take Two."
