Scott Yanow of Allmusic reviewed the album, stating "McLean became much more individual within a few years, while Jenkins would fade from the scene altogether. This likable jam session features plenty of tradeoffs by the two altoists".[2]

Personnel

Production

gollark: While it's very simple it's also terrible as it makes the model utterly unable to understand character-level stuff like rhyming, and it makes it slightly worse at a lot of other generalization.
gollark: The tokens are 16-bit ints.
gollark: Basically, it goes through its dataset and picks the mappings of character sequences to tokens which compresses it as much as possible.
gollark: It has an elegant and yet terrible tokenization scheme called BPE.
gollark: 16 million tokens. Not words.
