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.

@bdp24 ,

Received the two Donna the Buffalo lps today. From the back jacket on "Dance in the Street".... 100% Analog Recording, Mix and Master.

I’ll probably listen in a day or two. Pretty cool video @ www.donnathebuffalo.com about the making of "Dance in the Street".

"Reconsider Baby" by Lowell Fulson. Listen to it to hear where Jimmie Vaughan got his style, and to hear the kind of laid-back deep-groove that very, very few white Blues bands are able to produce.
