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.

bdp24, I’m a big Boby Darin fan. I grew up listening with my Dad and his music and other music from that era has stuck with me. Thanks for the shout, glad you enjoyed it. Niles Lofgren Band Live- "Bass & Drum intro" (Fantastic 3:30 minutes of jamming) https://youtu.be/w3iyqbuY-_g N |
nutty's Bobby Darin choice reminded me to listen to another of his songs, "Beyond The Sea". The song is okay, but what makes the track so great is the drum break (not long enough to be called a solo) in the middle, played by the great Don Lamond. THE coolest drum part I have EVER heard! Insanely great. |
slaw, Thats a great live albumn. Its been a while since I've listened to any Molly Hatchet. Glad I pulled it out. Alvin Lee, Keep on Rockin' "The Bluest Blues" featuring George Harrison on slide guitar. https://youtu.be/rB6OlJqV1rQ N |

David Gilmore "On An Island" Mofimadness, I dusted off my 30 some year old, well worn copy of REO "Riding The Storm Out" (I too, had a snow storm event) Mind you, this is my original copy from over 30 years ago in which I partied to frequently. Looking at it now, I'd be hard pressed to pay $1.00 for. After very slow steaming, and a good 6 minutes in my AD cleaner... Walla! (Should I say Violla?) It sounds great! This really is a damn good sounding (live) lp! Monkees: An underappreciated band! Ask Steven Stills? |
The way the story went as I remember it... Hobson contacted Fremer for his copy of "Rough Mix" to duplicate for the Classic Records release. Fremer provided his personal copy. It wasn't caught until later that Fremer's copy had a LAST sticker on the back jacket cover. If you own the Classic Records copy, look and you'll see. It really does blend in if you aren't looking for it. |
