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.

Nutty,

Glad you are enjoying Frontier Folk Nebraska. It ain't folk, and they're not from Nebraska. :~)

You guys should go check them out when they are back at Southgate House Revival. Really small venue, up close and personal. Bring earplugs!

For another great local Cincinnatian's show, check out Adrian Belew when he returns to the 20th Century theater next month. I know you're a fan of guitar bands. He's a guitarist's guitarist......

mofimadness, 

I'll see your 1975 Foghat and raise you a 1976 Ted Nugent , Free For All. Youl may remember Meatloaf lurking on some of the vocal work on the albumn. 
The song is "Together".
