Paul Desmond – Blue Rondo À La Turk

• Artist: Paul Desmond
• Album: Dave Brubeck: Time Out (1959)
• Track: Blue Rondo À La Turk
• Instrument: Alto Sax

I continue to power through the “Time Out” album. For some reason I’m just now getting around to track 1. This is a cool tune with the melody primarily being in a fast 9/8 (2+2+2+3) and the solos being in a slow 4/4 swing.

My video starts with the first of Paul’s solo fills, continues through his solo, then cuts to the end where he does some more solo fills into the melody to end the track. The PDF charts out the whole track from beginning to end.
