Paris-Concert is a live double album by the short-lived jazz band Circle recorded at the Maison de l'O.R.T.F. in Paris on February 21, 1971 and released on ECM the following year. The quartet consists of reed player Anthony Braxton and rhythm section Chick Corea, David Holland and Barry Altschul.[1]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The music is often quite abstract but generally colorful and innovative; Chick Corea would soon break up the band for other musical adventures, but this set remains one of the high points of his productive career."[2]
