Notes: A
classic album from the first notes of "Take Five" to
the last strains of "Pick Up Sticks". "Blue Rondo
A La Turk" has a 9/8 beat that grabs you and won't let go,
even if it does ease up a bit in the refrain it comes right back
for another lap around the track. The abstract cover art and extensive
song-by-song liner notes make for a nice complete piece. Brubeck
uses this album to fully explore compound time signatures and the
results are ours for the taking. Find it, get it, dig it.
