Allmusic[4]

The Allmusic review stated "the music is rather disappointing for, although Konitz plays fairly well on the mixture of standards and obscurities, Evans often wanders and his backing of the saxophonist is sparse and erratic. The results are more important historically than musically".[4]

Personnel
gollark: While I don't like systemd's overintegration, I have to admit the unit files are a pretty nice thing to have.
gollark: Most stuff is available with just a browser these days, though.
gollark: Main cores and RAM on, low-power core on and RAM slower, RAM on low-power and cores off.
gollark: Can't you just have more low-power modes?
gollark: It seems kind of horrifying that SIM cards do so much. This sort of thing is bound to have vulnerabilities.
