I have a lonely life and this song is one of the only things that brings me joy

[orpheusband]

We're in the studio and listening to this on rotation. Bernard Purdie loves it.

My Dad says I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I sure can run fast. -Pete Wheeler. :)

[brycewalburn]

A beautiful tribute to one of the greatest athletes of our time.

[jakeggggggg]

How is everyone ignoring the fact that LOUIS COLE is on the set for this?? I would do anything for a full collab with KNOWER. It all fits so well together.

[MrHestichs]

The room creates a very distinct sound in the recording!

[KCJazzKeys]

Definitely has a Bob Mintzer feel to it (the adding layers as well as the chords and rhythmic punch.) Tight horns.

[TheKaiserTia]

I didn't think this much groove without laying back was possible!

[Camino]

the animation at 2:28 is basically how pete wheeler slides up to home plate

[stevencole]

Love the way the rhythmic figures in the horns fit together. So tight. Jacob Mann is insanely talented and is going places!

[Dweezil]

Alekos now plays w/ Delta Force/Fearless Flyers.
This such a magical song man

[fitchyyboi]

We're playing this in my jazz band and we're going to have to record it virtually. Can't wait to see how many times it takes for me to play it right lol

[hunterbraun]

Not sure I can fall asleep after this groove.

[ronhowerd]

This song brings me to such a singular place in my mind. A feeling from years ago I can’t exactly pinpoint. This song doesn’t wear off it always takes me deep into nostalgia

[kfdisawesome]

The more I listen to this then more I enjoy it. Friday can't come soon enough it's gonna be LITT

[michaelkokolis]

I listened to a lot of these on Spotify, then I see these music videos and I can’t help but start DYING at the drawings😂

[TheGjkerr]

Great chart! I reckon Jacob has a soft spot for Mintzer’s early a big Band stuff. Love the harmony in this one.

[toyokemusic]

Listening to this almost everyday, unbelievable....!!

[Charlute]

This deserves way way waaaay more views. Jacob, your music is the funkiest shit I've ever heard. I can't concentrate on anything cuz I just wanna dance all day long.

[MBr___]

Damn, not only the tune but also the mic selection is pretty killer!
