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've several I'd love to post but I found one that maybe is forgotten and surely a blast from the past.

Duran Duran "New Religion".

Listening to it made me think that there is what may seem to be early (rap) going on, that we did not notice at the time? It's a fun and quite good tune. Check it out.

slaw,
Listend to some Duran Duran recently. Like your post above and as a result, my "Tune of the day" is Duran Duran’s "Come Undone".

Adrenalin Mob, featuring Mike Portnoy on drums did a cover version as well.
