The Waybacks, “I’m Really Fine”, from Devolver. What a hoot from the very under-appreciated virtuosity of James Nash and company.

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 think I’ll take an hour and listen to all the suggestions on just this last page of the thread. Listening to Buddy Miller now, a pleasant discovery. Thanks, BDP24. I’ve got a feeling having a cup of coffee with you and Slaw would significantly add to my music knowledge. By the way, Reuben and Hombre, Check out Ode to Billie Joe on Smokin’ Section, Tom Scott and the LA Express. |
