AllMusic[2]

On AllMusic Ron Wynn states " the date's value is in hearing where Harper and Faddis, as well as jazz itself, were in the mid-'70s and then comparing how far they and the music have and have not come since then".[2]

Personnel

gollark: Not realistic at all.
gollark: CC-server companies inevitably end up "groups of people who share computers to work on similar stuff".
gollark: Compatible with almost all CC programs!
gollark: MicrOS leverages many BIOS/CraftOS features in order to retain its characteristic simplicity.
gollark: Other package managers are available and can be installed through pastebin.
