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.

@mofimadness - Well, it turns out that I don't have Legend in the group of hand-me-down Poco albums I got from my older sister. So, doing what any proper audiophile would do, I went out to eBay and scored a nice MOFI pressing. Should be here in a couple days......
@reubent...sweet!  Best copy I have heard.  Hard being an audiophile, huh?  People just don't get us...wonder why?  :-)
Glad to hear that reubent . I had a neighbor Doc who told me ear , nose and
throat guys get rich off rock concerts .
Esp. concerning matters of the brain, which hearing is, a 13-yr old is still very much a child .
