"Night of Broken Dreams" Blind Golem
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.

"West" by Lucinda Williams is one of my very favorite songs of the past few decades, and while just listening to it I finally realized what song it somewhat reminds me of: "Moon River" by Henry Mancini. Especially the chord progression in the bridge section. This is as romantic a song as I can think of, both musically and lyrically.

"Get Out Of Denver" by Dave Edmunds. IMO a vastly better version than the original by the song’s writer, Bob Seger.

And here is Dave’s version of John Fogerty’s song "Almost Saturday Night"

@curiousjim - I'm a huge dada fan. The album "Puzzle" is excellent all the way through. All killer, no filler. Was fortunate to see them live a couple of time, including this past summer. Took my 20 year old son, was right down on the front of the stage. Turned him into a super fan... |
