"Cold Duck Time" and "Compared To What" are universally loved in the jazz community, and they were hits from day one.
I'm not certain if the tune "Cold Duck Time" refers to a popular wine we were drinking at that time, but I recall guys coming to parties with bottles of it and announcing "It's cold duck time", let the celebration begin.
Those were the days my friend, I thought they would never end. The very ground that I partied and had so much fun on, is now the Ghetto, and nobody I know lives there any longer. Since I consider myself a sociologist, that's very important. I'm not changing the subject, music relates to everything, it comes from the people at the time of it's origination. Those were some good times, and you can feel it in the music, they even danced to it.
Those changes have occurred in every major city in this country; if you are a concerned citizen of this country, you should be concerned about that. Changes that take a minimum of 30 years, occurred overnight. Now compared to then (1969), should be the title of a song.
Enjoy the music.
