Allmusic[4]

Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: " He is paired in two 1954 quintets with either Freddie Redd (who plays conventional bop) and Wade Legge (sounding at his most eccentric) on piano. However the most memorable set is from 1950 for Roland is joined by guitar (Joe Puma), bass, drums and a string quartet. The writing for the strings (which is uncredited) is quite inventive and, although the strings do not solo, they sound very much like a jazz ensemble".[4]

gollark: It's browser-dependent. Probably in a database in the browser's app data folders somewhere.
gollark: Put a textarea in the HTML part of your thing, and some buttons to save/~~edit~~/delete etc. Those can read the `value` property of it and save it to localstorage (you should also read its contents and set the value to that on page load).
gollark: Yes, you can also read localstorage, it would not be useful otherwise.
gollark: Java and JS aren't the same. Anyway, the page has some examples for writing to it.
