Reception
The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4 stars stating "Jaki Byard was captured alone in a Milan studio for this delightful session. As usual, he displays his formidable technique with an ever-present twinkle of humor. Everything from early jazz to classic renditions of Ellington masterpieces... Several strong Byard originals round out this highly recommended CD".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Sounds good, but also annoying to do.
gollark: CCCloud Autoscaling™ will, if one computer hits a "too long without yielding" issue, spawn a new computer with exactly the same filesystem and randomly connect you to one of them when you use it.
gollark: There would be another bit for managing your "VMs", doing entirely pointless autoscaling and whatnot.
gollark: That would save a lot of programming, mean I wouldn't have to work around the nonexistent support for that one feature my canvas code needs, *and* involve more cloud.
gollark: Great idea, my "cloud platform" can just use Cloud Catcher for the UI!
