The Waterboys-Red Army Blues

Track from the waterboys 1985 “a pagan place ” album,with some images,hope you enjoy and thanks for watching. When I left my home and my family My mother said to me Son, its not how many germans you kill that counts Its how many people you set free So I packed my bags Brushed my cap Walked out into the world Seventeen years old Never kissed a girl Took the train to voronezh That was as far as it would go Changed my sacks for a uniform Bit my lip against the snow I prayed for mother russia In the summer of 43 And as we drove the germans back I really believed That God was listening to me We howled into berlin Tore the smoking buildings down Raised the red flag high Burnt the reichstag brown I saw my first american And he looked a lot like me He had the same kinda farmers face Said hed come from some place called hazzard, tennessee Then the war was over My discharge papers came Me and twenty hundred others Went to stettiner for the train Kiev! said the commissar From there your own way home But I never got to kiev We never came by home Train went north to the taiga We were stripped and marched in file Up the great siberian road For miles and miles and miles and miles Dressed in stripes and tatters In a gulag left to die All because comrade stalin was scared that Wed become too westernized!

Milt Jackson & Coleman Hawkins – Sandra’s Blues (1959)

Coleman Hawkins has been called the first truly great saxophonist, in jazz or otherwise. And Milt Jackson, who elected to play for decades in the collective Modern Jazz Quartet rather than pursue a mainly solo career, is certainly the first great vibraphonist in jazz. Jackson learned from pioneer Lionel Hampton but developed a harmonic approach to his instrument that sparkled and resonated as warmly as either tuned drums or a piano. As coleaders of this 1959 session, reissued here in exactly the shape of the original LP, Hawkins and Coleman reveal their elegant immersion in slow tempos and blues structures. They bounce smoldering ideas off each other (“Close Your Eyes”) and play to their individual strengths on the two Jackson-penned blues, with Hawkins playing breathy shadows and then leaping registers and Hawkins letting the vibes sing with controlled sustain and all the complex art of slowed bebop. The rest of the band is notable, too: bassist Eddie Jones and MJQ drummer Connie Kay work with young guitarist Kenny Burrell and pianist Tommy Flanagan to merge harmony and rhythm wonderfully. –Andrew Bartlett (amazon.com)
