The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow observed: "The quality of the music here is high, if brief -- even with his erratic lifestyle, Pepper never made a bad record ... Fine music, but not essential when one considers how many gems Art Pepper recorded during his rather hectic life".[3]

gollark: The issues I think are most problematic are just companies being able to influence governance, and I'm not really sure what to do about that. Perhaps just have strong norms about having the government not do much.
gollark: You'd need a way to somehow be able to have some of the profit from new fundamental stuff go back to its original investors.
gollark: Probably some kind of long-term research investment things?
gollark: I think with better coordinating/financial structures in place we could probably have better encouragement to do fundamental stuff.
gollark: And the government funding means we still get that, so it seems fine.
