Scott Yanow of Allmusic says, "Cannonball Adderley supervised the session, putting the spotlight on the competitive horns who really battle it out".[5] On All About Jazz, David Rickert wrote: "Neither Clay's or Newman's work apart from one another is anything to write home about, yet when paired together they managed to create an album that holds its own with the more consistent work of their peers".[6]

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.
