Allmusic[3]

On Allmusic, Scott Yanow wrote "This excellent set gives one a definitive look at altoist Lee Konitz at a period of time when he was breaking away from being a sideman and a student of Lennie Tristano and asserting himself as a leader. With pianist Ronnie Ball, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Alan Levitt, Konitz explores a variety of his favorite chord changes, some of which were disguised by newer melodies".[3]

Personnel
gollark: What if Intel and AMD come up with "AVX but more so"™?
gollark: For representing data like this within the program or serializing it in a way nothing else has to read, it seems reasonable.
gollark: Hey, I'm not saying the u16 is the wrong choice here, just that it also isn't really always right.
gollark: CBOR and whatnot are nicer than using custom binary formats if you plan to swap data between systems a lot, because you can add new fields without breaking things and there's parsers for basically every languæge.
gollark: (yes, this is impossible, but oh well)
