My Baby’s New CD Fave

To prove that her Aunt was not a genetic fluke (she’s a cellist in Germany), Alice has moved her “let’s dance to this!” attitude from Curious George soundtrack by Jack Johnson and friends, to Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Really. Put on “Blue Rondo a la Turk” and watch her start dancing.

Having always enjoyed playing the mixed time pieces when I played bassoon (I recall “Bedford: An Overture” with particular fondness, along with some experimental Mexican composers), it warms my heart that she loves the funky beats.
