Circle: Anthony Braxton (reeds, percussion); Chick Corea (piano); David Holland (acoustic bass, cello); Barry Altschul (percussion). Recorded at the Maison De L'O.R.T.F., Paris, France on February 21, 1971. Of all of the recordings from the short-lived avant-garde quartet Circle, this double-LP is the most rewarding. Cut live in Paris, this set features pianist Chick Corea, the reeds of Anthony Braxton, bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Barry Altschul playing a wide variety of fairly free explorations. Highlights include their reinterpretation of the standard "There Is No Greater Love," the playful "Toy Room - Q & A," Braxton's "73 Degrees Kelvin," and "Nefertiti." The music is often quite abstract but generally colorful and innovative; Chick Corea would soon break up the band for other musical adventures, but this set remains one of the high points of his productive career. ~ Scott Yanow
