Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars and the review by Stephen Cook stated: "Backed by some of the top bop players of the day, Al Cohn stretches out here for a program heavy with up-tempo swingers. ...this early Cohn release is at once hot and cool, vigorous and lithe".[3]

Personnel
gollark: That is to *define* a table.
gollark: The `.` thing only works on tables, so `myst_book` has to be a table.
gollark: We know `books[i].myst_book.destination` is (probably) a string, as `monitor.write` and the `..` operator take strings.
gollark: The actual line in question is `monitor.write(books[i].myst_book.destination.."\n")`.
gollark: Because `books[i]` contains a table with a key `myst_book` containing a table with a key `destination`.
