Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Overall this is an excellent outing for all concerned".[3] On All About Jazz, reviewer Marc Myers observed: "By 1955, Wilkins' charts had developed a knack for tightly wound swing and swagger, typically resulting in a polished shout chorus at the end. With Wilkins, every arrangement was an aerodynamic adventure, and he never relied on gimmicks or repeated phrases. His originals always sounded modern--the blues retrofitted with an automatic transmission and air conditioning ... For me, this is a perfect mid-1950s jazz album of seductive beauty crafted for a small group that thinks it's a big band".[4]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
