Donna The Buffalo "Dance in the Street"
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.

Tossing in a third if no one minds: "Stand by Me" Takes a minute to take off, but it does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM |

Great song slaw (BPDG). I’m sure you’ve already heard it, but comparing the version by Them (with a very young Van Morrison singing) to the original by Muddy Waters illustrates why Them’s version is just about my all-time favorite cover song. That and Dave Edmund’s reworking of Smiley Lewis’ "I Hear You Knocking". Love live Rock ’n’ Roll! |
