AllMusic[5]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow noted, "In 1990, tenor-saxophonist Clifford Jordan achieved one of his lifetime goals and formed a big band. They recorded a demo in December, 1990, that helped land them a record deal ... The music on Play What You Feel, which was originally the demo, was released for the first time in 1997. The 16-piece orchestra, which includes many of Jordan's friends and longtime associates, was loose but tight, featuring strong solos, spirited ensembles and colorful straight-ahead arrangements ... all of the selections are fun and swinging. This is a highly recommended if little-known gem that makes one happy that Clifford Jordan was able to achieve his goal".[5]

gollark: It needs to be highly efficient so there are spare resources for its built-in HTTP server.
gollark: Which reminds me, is there some "epoll" equivalent allowing stuff to wait on process termination? Right now it runs a thread for each one, which is bad.
gollark: Yes, praise osmarksßsystemd™.
gollark: ALL are to use osmarksßsystemd™, which is written in Rust, uses TOML for unit files, and is eventually to use SQLite for something or other.
