Circle (jazz band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
