This is the complete song collection of the music composed by the Palestinian surgeon and self-taught musician Doc Jazz.

Normally, these songs are only available for listening, not for download. However, from time to time, songs will be on offer for FREE, sometimes even the whole collection - so check back frequently, add yourself to the or the so that you can stay informed about these offers! You can also INVALID -- Facebook Badge END -- Because of their reliance on a unique combination of politically critical lyrics and catchy beats and melodies, some of these songs managed to penetrate into mainstream Dutch media, most markedly the song 'Balken van Ellende' - a satirical song about the Dutch prime minister - which ended up being used in a news quiz on national television, where two questions were asked about the song (see videos). He also played all instruments and vocals on all songs, except on the album (produced by the African American producer Forrest Thomas) and on the Dutch song 'Doe Maar Multicultureel'. In these songs, Doc Jazz collaborated with prominent professionals from the Dutch jazz and fusion scene. His music can be found in a wide variety of styles ranging from piano ballads to funky music with a groove and with a taste of Doc Jazz's characteristic rock guitar solos (and on 'Front Door Key' the mesmerizing saxophone solos of Susanne Alt) - in three languages:. A Palestinian short shepherd's flute called the is also often featured in the songs. One last note: don't assume the music of Doc Jazz is only political! If you scroll through the vast collection of songs, you will find many songs about other subjects of love, and of life!

Lyrics
I can't wait .... I Can't wait Till freedom comes And life will be so dear I can't wait Till the darkness goes After all these years - There's a light on the horizon And darkness starts to fade And all the shadows lose their deep dark corners Reveal what was in their shade What we need is some positive effect Something real to reinforce our self-respect Do you feel the effect is quite direct What you feel when you put your hand in mine - There's always reason for complaining But there also comes a time When people put their hands together And resolve all nations' crimes If we agree that we're all equal Then why infringe on another's rights? Abuse their power and their magnitude Do they believe that right is might? - Why keep on sending in their soldiers To bend the flow of oil their way? Why do they prove to the rest of the world That they can't deal with the power without going astray? Just to feed the greed of the corporate industries They declare a permanent state of war in their ministries Do they believe the people of the world dont see the discrepancies? "Spread democracy" is the word, but the truth is malignancy What's their justification For the destruction of these nations For all the killing, and billing, and banking, and spilling Takes us one step back in humanity And one step forward in primitivity Free Palestine, free Iraq right now It's the only way we can advance anyhow Let's join our hands together, put these words into effect Let's return to the world its self-respect!

Nice and funky, with a smooth jazz vibe. Love the bass and keys. Your vocals are smooth with a flare of pop. Great lyrics. This should be at the top of the charts. Love the song theme. Stay positive...Peace...Al
