Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic commented "One of the most electrified of Grover Washington, Jr.'s albums, this Columbia set features the popular saxophonist (who plays soprano, alto and tenor) joined by oversized rhythm sections and plenty of keyboards on a variety of funky and danceable material. Not one of Washington's more essential releases (his Columbias overall have not been that memorable), the pacesetter among r&bish saxmen is actually in fine form; if only the material were better".[1]

gollark: Anyway, #1 is quite mysterious. It's evidently written by someone who knows python somewhat, but is deliberately using it apioformically.
gollark: On that note, submission #n is mine, where 0 ≤ n ≤ 20 and n∈ℤ.
gollark: ALL ARE TO BE GUESSED NONE ARE SAFE.
gollark: You did? MUAHAHAHAHA.
gollark: Honestly, the negative point for wrong guesses rule sort of ruins the strategy of actually guessing ever?
