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: What, that if you meddle with a comparison and use a weird/flawed metric your thing looks better? Yes.
gollark: In any case, basing simplicity on the length of a fizzbuzz program would be kind of weird and put codegolf languages on top.
gollark: Oops.
gollark: ```pythonfor fizzbuzz in range(51): if fizzbuzz % 3 == 0 and fizzbuzz % 5 == 0: print("fizzbuzz") elif fizzbuzz % 3 == 0: print("fizz") elif fizzbuzz % 5 == 0: print("buzz") print(fizzbuzz)```
gollark: And it gets shorter, yes.
