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.

Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Lucky Man"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89g1P_J40JA

Simply outstanding. The first song written by Greg Lake when he was 12 years old and learning his fist notes on guitar. Credited as having one of the first recorded Moog Synthesizer solos. And it has one of my all time favorite drum performances. I've loved this song since the first time I heard it. One of my all time favorites....

I remember listening to that song after one of my personal auto system installations. The bass is remarkable if done correctly.
