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.

Glad to hear that.  Mine too, I'd say.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to "get into" their albums after this one, but I have all the studio releases coming before it.

@slaw - 

What band if any, has ever covered Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive"?
I can't answer that one. We'll not without Googling it! However, I do know an EXCELLENT cover of STP's - "Interstate Love Song"

Steve Ferrone's Farm Fur from the album - More Head - "Interstate Love Song"

And if you like that, check out "Steve's Strutt" from the same album

@reubent ,

Thanks for responding. I realized that this may not be an exercise in audio that results in good feelings...so, let's just drop it?

I have the lp (STP). It sounds horrible in terms of SQ
