Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "This unusual album found Coleman taking time off from his electric free funk group, Prime Time, to record acoustic duets with his longtime associate, bassist Charlie Haden. Coleman switches to tenor and trumpet for the challenging music which includes three of his originals".[1] In JazzTimes, Duck Baker wrote: "The most significant dividing line in Ornette’s chronology might be Charlie Haden’s leaving the group in the mid-’70s. This set of duos from a few years later highlights the telepathy that was crucial to the success of so many classic earlier recordings ... a fine, relaxed set whose very effortlessness might make it seem less than it is, which is of course top-notch".[5]

gollark: I am not saying that a WAV file is indistinguishable from a MP3 file *if they are both from a lossless source*.

gollark: You're wrong and you still don't understand what lossy compression means.
gollark: This seems unlikely also, since rerecording it discards information.
gollark: If your WAV file is the original one from whoever made the song, it might sound better. If your WAV file is just generated from the MP3, it will be identical to playing back the MP3 normally.
