"When Gretchen Parlato penned the swirls of her chart Circling one wonders if she envisaged what drummer and composer Terri Lyne Carrington's band and the planetary guests she assembled for this album would make of it. The band's core quintet is infused with contributions from 15 musicians, including Dianne Reeves, Ravi Coltrane and Ambrose Akinmusire. The album forms part of Carrington's long-term mission to bring jazz women and female jazz composition in from the margins ... The album, comprising 11 tracks by women composers, is the antithesis of (justifiably) angry protest: great tunes, instinctive arrangements and harmonic richness - all of it sequinned by stellar input, not least by Reeves on Eliane Elias's "Moments" and Michael Mayo on the aforementioned "Circling"".

"Backed by a flexible crew of pianist Kris Davis, guitarist Mattthew Stevens, trumpeter Nicholas Payton and bassist Linda May Han Oh, and featuring a variety of guests, including Ravi Coltrane, Julian Lage and Ambrose Akinmusire, Terri Lyne Carrington presides over a stylistically diverse collection of tunes with crackling results".
