Lenny Breau was interesting because he introduced country music stylings into his jazz work.

Composed by Henry Mancini, 1962's “Days of Wine and Roses” is from a film that year with the same name. Mancini would win an Academy Award for the work – “Best Original Song.” Along with Breau, it's been covered by Wes Montgomery and even Perry Como.

The title comes from Ernst Dowson's poem “Vitae Summa Brevis.”

That's how we grow.

Thanks!
