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.

Glad to hear that reubent . I had a neighbor Doc who told me ear , nose and
throat guys get rich off rock concerts .
Esp. concerning matters of the brain, which hearing is, a 13-yr old is still very much a child .
@reubent...sweet!  Best copy I have heard.  Hard being an audiophile, huh?  People just don't get us...wonder why?  :-)
@mofimadness - Well, it turns out that I don't have Legend in the group of hand-me-down Poco albums I got from my older sister. So, doing what any proper audiophile would do, I went out to eBay and scored a nice MOFI pressing. Should be here in a couple days......
@schubert - Thanks and already done. We're sitting pretty far away. Hope its not so loud that we need them. My son is pretty sensitive to loud noises anyway, so they'll go in if it's even moderately loud......
Taking the wife and 13 year old son to see U2 tonight in Louisville at Papa Johns Stadium. In honor of the 40th anniversary Joshua Tree Tour, I present.........

U2 - "Red Hill Mining Town" from The Joshua Tree

@reubent...thanks!  I just got done listening to my mint MOFI LP copy of Legend.  Every song on this album is fantastic.  I forgot how much I really love this band...
Here's a classic hard rocker. BTW, this band was the headliner at the first rock concert I ever attended.....

Uriah Heep - "Stealin"

@mofimadness - OK, you win! Poco's - "Legend" is a GREAT TotD. Maybe my favorite suggestion from this thread. Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to pull out the vinyl tonight, give it a run through the SpinClean and take a listen.....
