Barry Altschul – Free Playing At Best

 In the early 70s, the Circle was a band that perhaps was the most technically adept in jazz ensemble – holding the record till today. And Barry Altschul was behind the drum throne. He also had a membership that got him to work with Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and Anthony Braxton. Working with the Circle was an all-encompassing situation for Barry. It was easy because he already had a background in traditional jazz styles. With these skills, he had solid ground for free playing. Since childhood, Barry was always an innovative drummer, which was also an added advantage for easy adaptation to the changing music world.
