Circle (jazz band).html

Circle was an early 1970s avant garde jazz ensemble. Its core members were

Chick Corea, piano
Dave Holland, bass
Barry Altschul, drums and percussion.

For some of its existence it also included Anthony Braxton in a leading role on several reed instruments.

The group's recordings evoke interest in their own right; additionally, they document a period in which Corea's work was steeped in the jazz avant garde, prior to his shift to the jazz fusion orientation.
