Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "This intriguing double LP was innovative composer George Russell's first recording after breaking up his young combo of the early '60s... Most unusual is a suite dedicated to Russell's Lydian concept that includes abstract versions of "Bags' Groove," "Confirmation" and "'Round Midnight".[1]

gollark: They would have to sue t5-small-ssm-nq, and this would introduce bizarre and exciting legal problems.
gollark: I have t5-small-ssm-nq determine whether all messages on esolangs are code-guessing-related or not, and archive the code-guessing ones to the osmarks.net backup system.
