Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "The music is mostly avant-garde, but purposeful and logical in its own fashion. Well worth several listens".[2] JazzTimes stated "In conversation she's a thoroughly grounded woman, in music she brings that as well as a sense of storytelling and picture painting that never borders on the precious, and this recording is equal parts-pure Geri Allen, always rewarding".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Possibly not what you want, being a shell tool and all.
gollark: > GNU parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel.
gollark: GNU parallel?
gollark: The solution is obvious. Build a computer with more RAM so you can make more number.
gollark: Radeon 7s have been discontinued, I think.
