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 also agree with the TUNE of the Day, (singular):

The Wreckers-"My, Oh My"

@reubent,

Thanks for the encouragement, although I seem to be pissing a lot of people off lately and would rather have my recommendations actually mean something instead of becoming a "rant".

I actually started a thread..."Song of the Day" way before this thread began that no one responded to, so I’m kind of trying to make up past time as well.

Lot’s of smiley faces!

@slaw - Dude! Do you mind if I call you Dude? Why would anyone be PI$$'d at you. I can't see that you've ever done anything, except be enthusiast about music you like. That's certainly good in my book. Keep up the good fight and help out the unwashed masses with recommendations of good music.

Happy Weekend! I'm out.......
