«POPULAR music in the Soviet Union has had a unique history. Cut off from the general trends in jazz throughout the western world, Soviet popular music stems mainly from the American "dance" idiom of the twenties. The present recording ranges from what is by our own standards "old-fashioned" jaw (although some of it is very elaborately dressed up as in Moscow Rights) to more sophisticated numbers such as Blue Tun light. The Accordion Waltz instrumental is as readily acceptable to us as Under Paris Skies or Domino.
A few of the numbers (Moon Waltz, Katiusha) are perennial favorites in the Soviet Union and were included as characteristic of Russian tastes in popular music. Moscow's tribute to America, the rendition of the St. Louis Blues, will be somewhat startling to those unaware of the Russian penchant for "swingin' it". The last number on Side Two presents one of Moscow's leading composers and dance pianists, Alexander Tsfasman, playing one of his own hits.
NOTE: Although Monitor customarily provides complete translations or story condensations with all songs it was felt unnecessary to do so in the case of this album since the lyrics all possess a universally understood "moon-June-croon" quality. Listen and you'll understand what we mean. For the Russian text write to Monitor.
