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 Times They Are A-Changing" by Bill Kirchen and Austin De Lone. Now my favorite version of this great song, found on the pair’s Transatlanticana album (reviewed by myself in the What’s In Your CDP Tonight thread.). Goosebump-inducing!

Sorry LP purists, available on CD only.

Olivia Vedder (Flag Day Motion Picture Soundtrack) - "My Father's Daughter"

@slaw  - It think I saw you post the album on the "what's playing" thread a week or two ago. Streamed the album via Spotify. The opening track of Olivia singing "my Father's Daughter" is the star of the record IMHO. It's all pretty good, but this song is special...
