Reception
The All About Jazz review by Troy Collins states, "An intriguing mix of influences, Davis' singular pianism is never derivative. Subconsciously revealing her classical training, touches of Ligeti and Bartok hover in the margins of her phrasing."[3]
In a review for JazzTimes Forrest Dylan Bryant says, "Digging through eight of the pianist’s turbulent, open-structured pieces in a crisp 40 minutes, they slide readily into collective groans, finger-snapping Monk-ish walks and tumbled heaps of crossed melodic lines."[4]

gollark: Okay, I solved a few more of the test cases.
gollark: It seems that I missed up list looseness detection somehow?
gollark: Exciting news: I patched my patch to nim-markdown and now it runs 25% faster *without* failing *too* many test cases!
gollark: Hmm, this actually does shave off about 25% of the runtime.
gollark: I could use cmark instead, but then extending it would be so many 🐝.
