This LP features pianist
Chick Corea, bassist
Dave Holland and drummer
Barry Altschul during the brief period that, along with
Anthony Braxton, they were members of the fine avant-garde quartet
Circle. The music heard on this set is not quite as free as
Circle's but often very explorative. Four of the six songs are
Corea originals which, in addition to
Holland's "Vedana" and
Wayne Shorter's "Nefertiti," form a very viable set of adventurous jazz, recorded just a few months before
Corea changed direction. ~ Scott Yanow
