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.

@slaw - I love "My Father's Daughter" from the Flag Day Soundtrack. I believe I discovered it through one of your posts. Eddie Vedder's teenage daughter Olivia sounds great on that recording... Thanks Brother! |
No kool aid needed to see when government takes control of peoples lives and proves the point of a song. Nor to empathize with the plights of others. I would expect all those who claim a libertarian mind set to be outraged.
The Gorecki Symphony is a treasure. One of my favorites. Including its focus on the relationship between mother and child. Nothing in there about government involvement or what any others for that matter opine about it. |
Keep drinkin' that KoolAid, Mapman. 'cause of course, a day that saw a law passed leading to the butchering of innocents gets "a pass". Makes sense to me. Got no music for that one, just tears. Oh, wait, how about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mcfy3UmnyDY Hey, if you can O-pine, then so can I.
