🎵 Jon Lord plays Dave Brubeck

As a kid, shall we say my musical taste did not jibe with my dad’s. Nor with my mum’s for that matter - although she did understand what I was listening to - and why. Probably because of that there are artists that she introduced me to that are still part of my listening cycle - like Dave Brubeck.

She passed a while ago, but would have loved Deep Purple’s Jon Lord covering ‘UnSquare Dance’.
