Pinback "Sender"!!!!
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.

Budgie - "Napoleon Bona Part One and Part Two" from the album "Bandolier" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scIqFErh3v4 Give yourself 7:17 minutes and listen all the way through before you comment..... OK guys, I'm going out on a limb with this one. But I've been listening to this band since I found the 8-Track of this album - Budgie "Bandolier" in my sister's car in 1975. Tell me what you think. I think it is an awesome example of an early heavy prog track. |
