Reception
In his Down Beat review of January 4, 1962, critic Ira Gitler commented: "This is a change of pace from most recent Messenger releases. There is only one original; the rest are standards that have not been overdone."[2] AllMusic reviewer Steven McDonald called it "An absolutely wonderful 1961 set from Blakey and company, who demonstrate here how to be note-perfect without leeching away the emotion of a performance."[1]

gollark: How about general programming?
gollark: Though I guess that's <#509144672778715136>.
gollark: Idea: TIS-3D and NedoComputers channels.
gollark: Also, like I said, the go standard library has generic types and must pick an approach.
gollark: Oh, plus you have the `if err != nil` boilerplate.
