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.

Joanne Shaw Taylor, "Jealousy". Live clip from Songs from the Road. Great CD/DVD set. She can definitely lay down some blues! https://youtu.be/RZIWHU-zVcw N |
Beth Hart, "Am I the one". She channels her inner Janis Joplin on this track. https://youtu.be/swVNp0x9xMA N |
Transatlantic, "Black as the sky". Portnoy is one of fav drummers, Morse is a visionary. https://youtu.be/mWBQo3r050g N |
Glenn Hughes, The way it is, "Take you down". https://youtu.be/gpv0cX0Wo2k Glenn's vocals are unreal on this track. The guitar work is fantastic also. N |
Kompendium, Beneath the Waves. Fantastic listen. Progressive- song is "Sole Survivor". https://youtu.be/0Fwp69zp29I N |
mofimadness, My wife and I went to a local, mosty used some new record/albumn store yesterday and she picked up The Eagles you referenced above. The place is called Phil’s Records. I’m glad she found it among the thousands of discs he has. It’s a keeper. She alao grabbed Out on the Border. aolmrd1241, Since you pulled Mountain off the shelf, I felt compelled to listen to Leslie West "Left by the Side of the Road to die". https://youtu.be/tIp7Bf-2Ox4 N |
Glenn Hughes, New Release- Resonate Check it out! https://youtu.be/iRsI-L6F0P8 N ps-Thanks arcamm88 for the GH update!! |
Golden Earring, "Going to the Run", Live acoustic. Fantastic version. https://youtu.be/sLOLS6GYbbY Formed in 1961, Golden Earring has been around longer than The Rolling Stones and have a catalog of over 40 titles. N |
astro58go, Thanks for the keeping me straight. And your right, the guitar work is superb on that track. slaw, Thanks for the kind words. And Bowie IS awsome. I had Klipsch KG 5.5's at one point, then moved to KLF10's and the story goes on from there. I really enjoy this thread and make an attempt to listen to each posting. Ronnie Montrose, "Town without pity". https://youtu.be/hkGvObg6WIw N |
slaw, I will check into M. Ward's version. I also agree that Ronnie's passing was glossed over considering the circumstances. He was one of my favorites and a major influence. mofimadness, How much snow? And I really like the "old" REO stuff. Although I don't have any snow, the temp here was 9° in the yesterday morning and today it's already 52°! But I will play "Snowblind" by Styx in solidarity. Next up, Rory Gallagher, "Jacknife Beat".
