Allmusic	[3]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "the result is a loose, enjoyable jam session. In addition to Holmes' appealing organ and McCann's typically funky piano, a major bonus is the brilliant playing of tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, whose tone was at its most gorgeous during this period".[3]

Personnel

gollark: Makes sense, makes sense...

gollark: Well, you can use a password lock if you're weird and like that. Otherwise, nothing except userdata wipe, which is also mostly for weird/silly people.

gollark: No.

gollark: Anyway, PotatOS features- sandboxing to /potatOS/- easy copying to disks- updating from disks/tapes- auto-update program- userdata wipe program for removing poorly programmed virii- `fortune`, `chuck`, `norris`, `dwarf` commands, because why not- occasionally prints backwards, messes with palette- password lock

gollark: It had heavy sandboxing to prevent access to most stuff.
