Reception

On All About Jazz Jim Santella stated "Like all forms of art, the result is a session that includes drama, variety, and a story that attaches different meanings to each viewer or listener. Douglas' music evolves from the hard bop idiom, with special care given to the presentation of his unique ideas. The trumpeter uses a soft attack, round tone, fluid articulation, and unlimited imagination to honor beauty in various forms. ...Recommended".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Descriptivistically speaking, words are defined by how people actually use them, now, in practice.
gollark: If you include all fighting ever under martial arts, it's kind of a useless term.
gollark: The modern meaning is mostly that.
gollark: Although I don't know of any actual wars mostly fought with unarmed combat, because that would be silly.
gollark: I don't really know anything about it other than that it seems to be associated with unreasonable claims a lot nowadays.
