You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day

Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side, yeah

The talent level here was unreal. Absolutely mind-boggling fantastic. I’m so glad I got to hear this song for the first time. Yes I am in modern jazz player, but there’s nothing like vintage jazz. This was otherworldly.

I heard this song for the first time in 1964. I was 8 yrs old and I never forgot this song. It was my start to loving jazz and playing jazz. I've been a jazz man every since. To think it all started with Jive Samba. Unreal all these years later.
Ron Carter Bassist
Good music will simply stay with us...

This is THE essence of music at its finest.
The conversations that are going on between these great musicians is without peer in its intricacy, and yet so accessible in its simplicity at the same time.
There is NOTHING better than this.
There might be equals, but nothing better.

Cannonball was a ♍, very family oriented and ALWAYS made his audience feel as though he knew them! A well dressed 🐈 who spoke a venacular that everyday people could relate to, he had the ability to reach RIGHT into them and let them KNOW his life wasn't very much different from theirs, he had the SAME issues they do, he wasn't ego driven, nor 🌟 struck at ALL, a "real life" gentleman of his time!☝️😳
Charles Blanchard
wish the club scene was still like this, where the musicians worked at their art and actually elevated the audience
