Penguin Guide to Jazz [5]

The AllMusic review by Joel Roberts stated, "This is jazz in its purest form: spontaneous, direct, and unfiltered".[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz listed the album as part of its "Core Collection" recommended for jazz fans.[5] All About Jazz called it "A quality effort, which receives high, marks for representing Osby’s terrific band as a serious “live” act minus some of the normal fluff and cosmetics. Nice work guys! ...Recommended"[6] Harvey Pekar, writing for JazzTimes, stated: "A skilled player, Osby's always thinking; even at the fastest tempos he seems in control, and resists the temptation to go on automatic pilot".[7]

Personnel
gollark: They biased it heavily toward singlecore when AMD started releasing high core count things cheaply.
gollark: They have not, in fact, made something 50 times more powerful than all competitors.
gollark: "Metal score" sounds like they're using Metal, i.e. the *GPU* abstraction layer on macOS.
gollark: Ah, it says here that many of Apple's people got hired by "Nuvia" which then got acquired by Qualcomm somehow.
gollark: The A15 apparently uses basically identical cores to its predecessor.
