Herbie Mann - Battle Hymn Of The Republic download

Offbeat but great version.

Still gives me chills to hear this.... have the original album.... heard it first 40 years ago...

Hunter S Thompson used this as histhem song when he tried to get as many "Feaks, Heads, criminals, anarchists, beatniks, poachers, Wobblies, bikers, and Pesons of Wierd Persuasion" to vote for his guy for Aspen mayor. They lost by six votes.

Herbie Mann was from Bklyn, New York. He experienced and knew the streets of the (human) ghetto.His, for the greater part, was a sound music education from especially the Street University.Oh, those Jam Sessions!That explains the pathos, empathy, bereavement, tribulations and personal peculiarities that Herb brought to his music - without apologies.Even though Herbie Mann had had a penchant for Funk, Hi-Lite Jive, Fusion and Psychedelic Discotheque (sp.) as a flute adventurer and pioneer, he nonetheless was an excellent (bass) clarinetist and tenor saxophonist of the "Cool (Jazz) School", or "The Smooth (Jazz) School" - "cool" being the same as smooth and relaxing.As a flutist uniquely oriented, Mann could not and cannot be effectively imitated let alone duplicated.HM:RIP

This is the deconstruction of the pure essence of this song. Emphasizing it!

Upon this rock I will build my church.

YOU WILL ATONE!-FBI Director James Comey, Probably

Let The World Hurry By - Pretty Lights

Gives me shivers down my spine.

15yr. old my father played this song on an Sat.night coming from a black family, listing to Herbie Mann play this song, my father had a good ear for music, oh I was born in Marietta Ga.

R.I.P. My Brother. Thank you for your Soul!

This song reminds me of Ron Burgundy jazz flute.

Being needed blood for removing the evil or achieving the right.
