"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"".
