After four years of regular live performances around the New York area, George Schuller's Circle Wide makes its recorded debut, documenting what AllAboutJazz calls their "rigorous, unpredictable approach to group improvisation."

Round 'Bout Now pays tribute to Miles Davis' pre-fusion transitional period of the late 60s, as documented on records like Circle in the Round, Filles de Kilimanjaro, Water Babies and In A Silent Way. Included are Schuller's arrangements of Miles' "Side Car," "Circle in the Round," and "Filles de
