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.

Keep up the good work ....

 

Such a instant classic roxy54. Though I must admit, was really torn between choosing something off of their Abandoned Luncheonette and or Whole Oats album. 

Lazyman is a great song. If only they could have continued in that vein. In those years I never could have imagined that they would end up producing such boring tripe later on. Oh well, nothing can stay the same forever.

Thanks a lot slaw. Done spent half of Sunday afternoon listening to them when I should’ve been cleaning my barbecue! Kudos for “The Budos” recommendation ;-)
