Went on a Youtube rabbit hole today. Started with Wolfgang VH new song video that was filled with humor, refreshingly eclectic and musically quite enjoyable.
Went on to some news, other videos, some shorts and then clicked Blue Rondo a la Turk.
I know I've heard this in passing or in the background at one time or another; but it never registered.
I am sure either the stars aligned or the sad rainy deary weather in NJ must have been just perfect for me to full get this song for what it is, a masterpiece.
I am not a Jazz fan. Only Jazz album I own is Kenny Burrell's Have Yourself a Soulful Little Christmas only because the Christmas Songs he covers are super sweet.
But "Blue Rondo a la Turk", this song captured me hard today. To me it sounded very sophisticated, playful and I had a hard time comprehending all the things happening in the tune. So I listened to it about a dozen times including versions covered by various people.
Now I will have to get the full album and go on a little journey this week.
I am posting this because I am your typical classic rock, blues, 80's metal music and Top 40 pop song music lover from various decades, some country and Indian Bollywood music since I grew up in India the first 12 years since birth. This song just took me by surprise, and I had to share my experience and emotions with someone.
Jazz is something I would never listen to because I found it boring, but this song is not linear and all the breakups in timing and Rythm is exciting.
Sometimes the YouTube Rabbit hole can yield some surprises.
