Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review called it "well played post-bop music" and states "Virtually all of Sam Jones' occasional dates as a leader featured him in a purely supportive role with a medium-size all-star group. This set is a bit different, for Jones is often in the forefront, heading a trio".[3]

Personnel
gollark: I decided to turn evil and build a magic DRM blob into potatOS.
gollark: ++list_deleted moon
gollark: The Moon, however, is *not* real.
gollark: JOEK! Obviously the earth is real and no-earthers are ridiculous.
gollark: That person is really working for the government, trying to discredit the no-planeists to cast doubt on the (correct) no-earthers.
