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.

I have a lp that has been long forgotten.

Why, I really don't know. How.. maybe because of the time in which they peaked?

Creed "Human Clay".

The lp title is awesome! The frontman/singer has the chops!

So, why, no love????????

This is my homage to Creed. Give it another chance?

Didn't listen to a damn thing today except the spouse complaining about the 60 cps 'hum' coming through a tv moved to a different location.  Spent a chunk of the evening chasing that devil.  Turns out it was in just THAT circuit, no other.  No conspicuous reason WHY, either...

I hate 'bug hunts'.  Especially when the 'bug' laughs and hides, taunting...

It's a rented space.  I'm not going to rewire...
