Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "On Jan. 3, 1958, Gene Ammons led one of his last all-star jam sessions for Prestige. The most notable aspect to this date (which resulted in two albums of material) is that it featured among its soloists John Coltrane, on alto".[1]

Personnel

gollark: Why, what do you need a SPUDNET channel for?
gollark: Er, you need me to issue a key with perms for one.
gollark: Again, that is SPUDNET's role, though that basically just works by requiring a key rather than fancy crypto things.
gollark: No, doing that properly would require many tricky cryptography things.
gollark: The GTech trilaterator array just listens on the 128 channels most recently, er, transmitted on, as obtained by the Anavrins VLA.
