Brilliant Circles, a masterpiece from Stanley Cowell's early days, was recorded in 1969. This is a heated session that brought together the most talented musicians from before the founding of Strata East. Don Cherry's trumpet, Marion Brown's alto, and Joe Chambers' drumming all come together to create a dense ensemble that combines sharpness and unrestrained energy. Cowell's piano exudes a rugged beauty and spiritual depth, vividly demonstrating the possibilities of jazz, expanding from modal to freeform. This masterpiece captures the energy of Cowell's golden age, where avant-garde and lyricism intertwine.
