Music Meme: Bonus Question

[cjlasky7]

This might be a little easier to answer than my last try at a bonus question. It has boundaries, specifically:

What is your favorite piece of music over ten minutes long?

My selection: "Concierto d'Aranjuez: Adagio"


As I said to beer_good_foamy a few days ago, this is the music I go to when the world is out of control and I need to regain my center. Gil Evans provides the setting; Miles Davis provides the soul. An unparalleled combination.

I had four choices rotating in my head for this category--Echoes by Pink Floyd, Starless by King Crimson, Aranjuez from Miles, and Traffic's Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys. But I had another Traffic song on tap for today (and I don't want to bludgeon my social media friends with my Crimson fandom).

I like Creedence's version of "Grapevine", because Fogerty and the band settle into a solid groove. But it's not really a ten minute song. It's two minutes of song, and nine minutes of jamming. For this meme, it's kind of "cheating."
