"Heartbreak" Aoife Nessa Frances !!!
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.

Hmm...that one’s from Fuzzy, an album I don’t really know very well, Slaw. Have spent a good bit of time, however, with other GLB albums - especially Mighty Joe Moon, Copperopolis & Jubilee. Always seemed a prime example of how capricious and often unfair the music industry can be that GLB and Grant Lee Phillips never had more success. Or so I think. Listening to Fuzzy now courtesy of Tidal. |

Van Morrison - It Fills You Up (from 1977's "A Period of Transition") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=067VzA44vZ4 |
Chet Faker - "No Diggity" Love this cover....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPSZp_rOXHg This live session video on YouTube is better than the album version. I like Chet Faker's cover/interpretation much more than the original version Hip Hop/R&B version by Blackstreet. |
Mike Mainieri - Northern Lights Track 6 Naima https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sB6A43441w An interesting take on Coltrane's composition. |
https://tidal.com/track/102594020 Lucinda Williams- Ode To Billie Jo. Mofimadness, have you listened to the original by Shuggy Otis? So very chill. |

I think I’ll take an hour and listen to all the suggestions on just this last page of the thread. Listening to Buddy Miller now, a pleasant discovery. Thanks, BDP24. I’ve got a feeling having a cup of coffee with you and Slaw would significantly add to my music knowledge. By the way, Reuben and Hombre, Check out Ode to Billie Joe on Smokin’ Section, Tom Scott and the LA Express. |
The Waybacks, “I’m Really Fine”, from Devolver. What a hoot from the very under-appreciated virtuosity of James Nash and company. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NC19rJxwFlU |
