Song 569 ( Mose Allison - Your Mind Is On Vacation )

-

I ran into this song a while ago and the sassyness and condescending tone just fits my mood quite well today. The musicianship in this Blues/Jazz song is incredible; I just love the sound that this trio puts out.

Here is a live performance on YouTube.

About My Song A Day Blog:

-
Image
Okay, What is this "Song a Day Blog?" Well, this is a hobby of mine that I have been at for over 18 years now, (since September First, 2007), in which I set aside a few minutes every day to create my ultimate playlist in a diary form, if you will. I try to add a different song each day and share with those who are interested as to why I like the song and the artist that performed it and/or maybe some facts about them. Myself, along with a few others, (the couple others who still remain active), have taken it upon themselves to create and maintain these song-a-day blogs; I highly recommend the other blogs that are linked to in the "Other Blogs I Follow and Find Interesting:" list below.  I have also provided links to the blogs that have gone dormant for one reason or another in the same list as well. Hope you enjoy!

6868. Weather Report - Punk Jazz

-
Image
From: Mr. Gone ; Year: 1978; Genre: Jazz Fusion Don't know why I have not been listening to as much Weather Report as I used to. At that, the last time I chose one of their songs was over three years ago, and it was one off of this record to boot. For the last couple of decades I consumed a lot of the Weather Report material as well as associated acts and artists; Wayne Shorter and, of course Jaco in particular. I'm thinking that it might have to do with delving into other Fusion bands and players that've taken up my attention. Like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Herbie Hancock and his Head Hunters, as well as all of their related bands and solo artists, which is extensive if you think about it. It is a real treat every time one of Joe Zawinul and Weather Report's music pops on my playlist; still enjoy it a lot. Anyway, this is one of Jaco Pastorius' songs, and whilst being a tour d'force in bass guitar virtuosity, all of the other band members get to ...
