Reception

In a review for JazzTimes Mike Shanley states "If anyone is still convinced that Shipp doesn’t know how to swing, the walking bass and syncopated chords of 'Jazz It' should prove otherwise."[1]

Personnel

gollark: This makes sense as a display thing, but how do you run it *backward*?
gollark: I tried playing a 10Hz sine wave just now and I can't hear it.
gollark: The position of the pen clearly can't be being directly mapped to voltage on a speaker or something, because the frequency would be waaaaay too low to hear.
gollark: What property of the waveforms it's generating varies as you change X/Y?
gollark: I'm aware it's converting it into waveforms somehow. That's just very vague.
