Reception

The Free Slave, according to Jim Dulzo in JazzTimes in 2003, "catches a live 1970 set with a band of stellar hard boppers that includes a very young Woody Shaw, plus George Coleman, Hugh Lawson and Cecil McBee. McBee and Brooks lay down a funky, intelligent groove and the band burns brightly through four extended tunes." [3]

Personnel

gollark: "Fun" is probably just some weird heuristic for novelty-seeking, but it manifests more as a terminal goal than some bad mental tool for navigating goals.
gollark: (or properly for situations it wasn't really optimized for)
gollark: It's an effective one, since you don't have to rely on a glitchy evolved heuristic which might not work properly.
gollark: Also decision making.
gollark: Yes, human intuitions about probability and also all other things ever are pretty apioform.
