Drummer Barry Altschul's first release as a leader in 25 years finds him in a trio with Jon Irabagon (Mostly Other People Do the Killing) and Joe Fonda (FAB Trio) for 9 Altschul compositions plus Carla Bley's "Ictus".

Circle The Path straddles the line somewhere between old-school free jazz, contemporary improvisation, the blues, and standard composition.
