The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Blue Rondo à la Turk
Have I listened to the artist before? Yes
Have I listened to the song before? Yes
Comments:
'Take Five' is an absolute masterpiece, and this track happens to be the opening number of its parent album Time Out. Our submitter presumably avoided choosing 'Take Five' as it would be too "safe" a choice to win (which may or may not be true)....but the only problem is that anything else by Brubeck will be compared to it! No matter, because this is still a great tune. With long-ish jazz numbers like this I sometimes find my mind wandering a little, not because I'm bored and want it to end but because the music just invokes a little daydreamy self. This is the kind of tune you can dip in and out of, and discover something new each time. Lovely pick.
