Allmusic[5]

Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow noted "This Muse recording differs from many of tenor saxophonist Houston Person's previous ones in that Person is backed by a piano rather than an organ; he sounds inspired by the "new" setting. ... A particularly strong effort by the very consistent tenor great".[5]

Personnel

gollark: I guess so.
gollark: Videos aren't actually as big as equivalent image sequences because of very clever compression algorithms like H.264, VP9 and AV1, but still very large, especially 4K and such.
gollark: Images are *pretty* big, although new lossy compression stuff like AVIF can get really small sizes without horrible quality loss, and videos are gigantic since they're effectively images and audio stitched together at 60 frames a second (well, or 25, or various other ones).
gollark: Anyway, text is not big - you can fit an entire book (again with compression) into less than a megabyte. In many ebooks the cover image and such are larger than the actual text.
gollark: > Take that backNo. They're basically just PICTURES OF PAGES with some metadata. They are AWFUL for anything but scanned documents.
