Allmusic[2]

On All About Jazz Dave Rickert said "the novelty of ¾ time in music is still fresh even today and Joe Mondragon and Mel Lewis create a seemingly infinite variety of ways to swing in waltz time. Rogers contributes a few catchy melodies (in particular the title track) and creates lovely charts".[3] Allmusic noted "Shorty Rogers' Jazz Waltz is exactly that, an exploration of ten compositions played in waltz settings. Only these big-band charts are hardly the waltzes heard on Lawrence Welk's long-running television series".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Implementing TLS yourself in Lua would be very not fun.
gollark: It would be slow and duplicate a *ton* of work which the Java side already has access to.
gollark: You technically *can*, but it's annoying. Especially if you want secure websockets since I think you would have to implement TLS in Lua.
gollark: Tables work that way, but not strings!
gollark: That's... a small fission reactor's worth.
