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.

The Black Crowes "Wiser Time" from their lesser discussed lp "Amorica".

This didn’t have the radio friendly hooks but IMO, may be superior to their first two lps. Shows a maturity that is easy to hear. Definately worth a/another listen........

@reubent ,

I was thinking about your recommendation earlier, The Jezabels.

If you like them, I think you'll love Of Monsters and Men.

Happy Listening!
