Never heard of Cherokee or it’s legacy until today. Never heard of Kamasi either until today. This is the first song. My world is changed on so many levels because of the greatness of this experience! The cherry on top is that find out who is singing this It’s absolutely

[liamcampbell-carpenter]

It’s amazing how nice the melody sounds when it’s not played at 2, 000 bpm!

[AustinCasey]

Such an underrated melody. Love when folks take it at a good tempo.

Patrice Quinn's voice reminds me of Lena Horne here! Just beautiful and elegant.

[rkgrant]

classic tunes like Cherokee really lend themselves to reinterpretation. What a great cover.

[rdeyevisualizations]

as a self proclaimed music purist a can say these cats are pure music, a joyful noise indeed.

[paakaberkhamemzazan]

Serenity. Perfect song to welcome in the autumn season.

One of my favorite jazz tracks on my playlist.

[tensaichigo]

Started listening....30 seconds in I decided... yep. This is a banger. Such a chilled out tune. Love it.

Saw this performed live at San Jose Jazz fest. Talented group. Patrice Quinn is a powerful vocalist!

[powderflipz]

Heard this on Real Jazz on XM radio during probably hands down the worst time of my life and it was like a little tiny light in all of the darkness, but I couldn't remember who it was by. Finally found it though, thanks so much for posting this.

[temperhollow]

Such an incredible song in every aspect. Patrice Quinn is amazing!

[Caleb-lwyq]

I just picture myself strolling down the street, people waving as they pass, and I see the woman of my dreams shining in the sun.

[tentailsjack]

This is my favourite track on the album

[honestmicky]

Outstanding music. Well produced. Well played. I hear this great song on Costa Rica's Jazz station 95.5 streaming Jazz. A+

[SantyRouge]

Hi! from Venezuela! Really great music...

[GuillermoDelTotoro]

first time i heard this was at a music festival years ago, on the kind of summer day where the suns out but there's a cool breeze, on something while laying in the grass with a girl i was in love with. what a fond memory.

[keteokete]

Sweet devine! I just stumbled in here looking for trumpet tunes as I am learning to play. But this. What is this? Its just a soft warm cloud of blue beauty floating and freewheeling like a couple of young people in their carefree summer of love. Wow these people are happiness and grace.

[markriley]

I am a lover of every type of music and this is one of my favorite albums!

[GGilbertProduction]

Here really antonished borders between a E and Bd major fusion into 4:11-4:59, but tenderly split with finish in 7:13 is unequally with silky Hammond organ section.

3th Harmony it's not about a slug.
