Reception

The Allmusic review states "Harris' playing strikes a balance between cool bop and straightforward soul-jazz, though it's possible to hear the influence of Detroiter Yusef Lateef beginning to creep in. It's all well-executed, and Harris' command of the highest ranges of his instrument is as lovely as ever, making this date worthwhile for anyone who loved the sound of Exodus to Jazz".[3]

Personnel
gollark: I see.
gollark: I mostly use it for running .NET stuff on Linux and it's honestly not very reliable for that.
gollark: Why would you want it on *Windows*?
gollark: I'd also suggest looking at https://www.notebookcheck.net/ for reviews of stuff, they cover stuff in depth.
gollark: I mean, "gaming" ones often don't have good battery life and are loud/heavy.
