Reception

The Allmusic review stated "Tenor saxophonists Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt co-led a small group in 1950, and this follow-up, taped in the studio in 1961, finds the two picking up where they left off".[1]

Personnel

gollark: Even though it was of course totally true.
gollark: Yemmel wanted an alt with which to play on the server as a normal player. The staff deliberately cultivated the lemmmy = yemmel meme for ages to prevent people actually taking it seriously.
gollark: Anyway, this whole situation was contrived completely to try and discredit us being the same. Remember how Lemmmy first came about?
gollark: Their username says so and they're me so they know things.
gollark: They never said anything about this but never denied it, fearing the consequences if this got out. But I trust you to make your own reasonable choices with this information.
