Reception

The Allmusic review stated "The Modern Jazz Quartet broke up after the concert documented on this double CD. It would be nearly seven years before the group got back together again but it certainly went out on top".[1]

Personnel
gollark: How is fatigue not a symptom?
gollark: Really? Because apparently post-viral fatigue happens with the flu sometimes.
gollark: Biology is messy and complicated.
gollark: Sure. That doesn't mean people know all the causes.
gollark: I don't think it's known at this time. Lingering organ damage, virus sticking around somehow, same sort of thing as "post-viral fatigue" (something something immune system), maybe.
