Pat Metheny Group's The First Circle album contains some of the most exciting progressive jazz ever created. This chart has been acclaimed as one of the best big band arrangements ever done! The piece is rhythmically complex and demands the full attention of the players. A great festival piece with nine minutes of sheer joy! As recorded by Bob Curnow's L.A. Big Band on The Music of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays. 5-4-4-4 (eight brass, optional ten).
