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.

I gotta say, ya’ll have better taste in music than all-but-the-best musicians I’ve known! Though many of you may be musicians yourselves. Maybe it’s the refined and developed appreciation for the reproduction of music that leads to such taste. Or perhaps whatever compulsion drives our insatiable need for quality sound is also responsible for our taste in music. Any psychologists here?! |
Planet P Project featuring former Rainbow keyboardist Tony Carey. "On Top of the World"😎 https://youtu.be/9sXhLqhOIq0 |
Blues Blues Blues! The Smokin’ Joe Kubek Band, Texas Cadillac, "Mean old World" https://youtu.be/2H22hlqZuLg N |
Glenn Hughes. "God of money"😎https://youtu.be/iRsI-L6F0P8 |
slaw, I will check into M. Ward's version. I also agree that Ronnie's passing was glossed over considering the circumstances. He was one of my favorites and a major influence. mofimadness, How much snow? And I really like the "old" REO stuff. Although I don't have any snow, the temp here was 9° in the yesterday morning and today it's already 52°! But I will play "Snowblind" by Styx in solidarity. Next up, Rory Gallagher, "Jacknife Beat".

We just got pummeled with snow, so this tune is very appropriate: REO Speedwagon-"Ridin' The Storm Out" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVFgEBq0EKM |
astro58go, Thanks for the keeping me straight. And your right, the guitar work is superb on that track. slaw, Thanks for the kind words. And Bowie IS awsome. I had Klipsch KG 5.5's at one point, then moved to KLF10's and the story goes on from there. I really enjoy this thread and make an attempt to listen to each posting. Ronnie Montrose, "Town without pity". https://youtu.be/hkGvObg6WIw N |
Nutty, Your post of David Bowie, moved me to listen through "Let's Dance" for the first time in years. I have fond memories. This (lp) was playing on a system that included Spica TC-50 speakers years ago when I was a budding audiophile. At the time, I had Klipsch KG-4's. I later sold them and purchased a pair of Spica TC-50i's. They are still in a closet. Bowie will always be awesome! |
