Listening to the introductory tympani solo was one of the strangest things I have come across in quite a while. Evidently this album made its way to Australiaand into the record collection of the Young family. The Angus Young of AC/DC fame family that is. Subconsciously or otherwise, the famous opening riff of that group’s “Whole Lotta Rosie” was lifted note for note from Brubeck’s “Countdown.” It is bizarre, but there is no mistaking it. […]
