Reception
The Allmusic review called the album "one of the most well-rounded sets he has ever led. The lineup of musicians is very impressive... And as for the drummer, there is still no one around who has captured the sound and spirit of Elvin Jones".[2]

gollark: Well, it lacks lots of important features I like: revision history, formatting support at all, crosslinks, usable from a web browser, image/video embedding.
gollark: Look, if I just want "easy" and don't care about features or usability or whatever, I technically *can* manage my notes in a folder of plaintext files or something, it would just be bad.
gollark: ยทยทยทยท
gollark: Anyway, upsides of client-rendering:- UI can be faster and more responsive, and allow stuff like "live" search that updates as you type and instant preview of markdown- can connect other stuff to same APIDownsides:- more code, it's somewhat annoying/problem-inducing to synchronize state correctly between server and client- more JS dependencies
gollark: They need precise 3-space coordinates.
