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.

Ok people,

I've listened quite a bit this weekend, I've made recommendations, etc..

I desired a lp that would take me places I needed to be in order to (wrap) up my weekend..

I found it in Glen Hansard's tribute to Jason Molina .."It Was Triumph We Once Purposed.."

The 1st song.. "being In love" really sets the tone..

I'm now in heaven!

Please seek this on out.

Cheers!
