"No Anchovies, Please" How does one think up stuff like that outside of a dream?

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.

(Before I get any remarks about "too digital", let me explain. I have many digital recordings on vinyl. Some make the grade. Others do what some digital recordings do worse..... overall fatiguing to listen to or even start listening to, highlights the extremes of any frequency range as to make it unnatural, can be heard as "sterile or bright".) |
Song of the Day! Adrian Belew combines with the Raisins to form the Bears. Pop Rock Perfections is the result...... If your foot is not tapping, or your head is not bobbing, your not doing it right.... The Bears - "Fear is Never Boring" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDRdnhnPZfw |
