Reception
The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick awarded the album 4 stars stating "Varner's ensemble offers up fascinating music that straddles the borders between jazz and an urban mix with a root or two in noir soundtracks, world music, and who knows what else. The Mystery of Compassion is a must for fans of the jazzier edges of the downtown New York scene".[2]

gollark: This is really awful. I've managed to recover *some* of the new region files (from the corrupted forge-side backup), I think all the nether/end, and the level.dat, but no playerdata. Kind of annoyed at myself for misconfiguring the backup thing... anyway, if anyone has suggestions for getting more data out, or wants their own copy of stuff, you can ask, but I'm going to shut it down.
gollark: It autorestarts, that wouldn't help.
gollark: I'm going to try and run a file recovery thing on the disk now, then try and fix the zip, and if neither works guess it's an older version or ***DOOM***.
gollark: Yep! Stuff does change, via chunkloading.
gollark: I'm pretty annoyed at myself for somehow constantly managing to mess it up.
