...time to stop this endless hunting around, when you can Finally get what you're really looking for....
Just follow this magik link....
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.

@curiousjim ...that last suggestion sounds like Melania’s daily nightmare....when she’s stuck being around him, and the staff is oddly absent.... ;)
...been watching this kable klassic: "Track Down All Trucks!" ('58, hard to find....) ('Two-fisted truck driver Tex Tirebiter takes on twelve two-bit truck stop tricks in a Truckee trailer court....' ) Timeless, as long as you've got some to trash.... ;) It's either that, or the Edugration Channel #9.... -Renaissance Poisons -Mental Demangement -Compulsory News ...or some entertainment of a sort... -The Circumcision Game! (...real cutting edge stuff....!) -Hexercise! (Brought to you by Looies' 'Wipe-Out' Pumice Hamburgers; "Wipes out the hole system, right on down the line!")
