[@yasirozer4782]

As a Turk, "much of the Turkish music is 9/8" is an overstatement. Its mostly used in mid and up tempo songs due to its danceable/playful nature. Also; since Turkey is an ethnic blend of diverse cultures there are plenty of different musical traditions ,9/8 signiture is mostly attributed to Gypsies and their dance tunes. Which is called "Oyun Havası".

[@yasirozer4782]

@TermsofService 1/2 is still too much and i wouldn't say helluva lot in all music in Türkiye. However its plenty enough to be not surprised when you come across with a 9/8 song. This kinda music often played for entertainment purposes such as wedding parties. People dance to this music. Loses its manic nature with slower tempos.

[@MarvinJudson]

Thank you. I discovered The Dave Brubeck Quartet and Time Out in 1961 when I was 13 and it was one of the Columbia albums that came with the purchase of our new stereo console. From the very first time I listened to the whole album I loved it and was stunned by how it spoke to me. Compelling aural sensations that activated pleasure centers in my brain. I became a lifelong Brubeck, Desmond, Morello and Wright admirer/appreciator/fan. In my opinion (and this is just my opinion but I have considered all the other jazz musicians and I stick with this opinion) Joe Morello was the greatest jazz drummer and Paul Desmond was the greatest alto saxophone player, probably ever. Dave Brubeck was the most innovative, experimental and adventurous jazz pianist/composer and Eugene Wright is right up there at the top of the list with the greatest jazz bassists of all time. I've listened to/owned most of the Brubeck Quartet vinyl albums that came after Take Five and I love them all but my favorites are Take Five and Countdown: Time in Outer Space.

A few years ago our director ave us Blue Rondo to perform during a concert. At that time it was probably the most difficult piece we've played, because of the constant switching between unconventional time signatures (mind you, we're just a group of "amateur" musicians - none of us are pro's). We were used to pieces switching between time signatures, but this song is on a whole other level. We still use the song as a measurement stick when we receive new music to play. Our director constantly goes: "We've played more difficult than this.", referring to Blue Rondo (and a few others) as the measurement.
