Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded in 1969 but unissued until 1975, pianist Stanley Cowell's 'Brilliant Circles' captures an elite ensemble including Woody Shaw and Bobby Hutcherson. The album fiercely navigates the tense, creative boundary between highly structured post-bop harmonic frameworks and intense avant-garde free jazz improvisation.
