In 1992 the Moscow Circus tracked Previte down on tour and hired him to create all the music to their new act, which opened on Broadway at the Gershwin Theater. This music became the fourth Gramavision release, “Music of the Moscow Circus.” Written for the various circus acts, this CD reads like a soundtrack for an aerial ballet, with everything from a classically inspired piano piece to a shredding electronic noisefest. New York Newsday—“The most unreal circus you will ever see, partly because of Previte’s haunting and audaciously impressionistic score.” And from the Buffalo News—“The music is altogether extraordinary, from its opening conflagration of chattering brass to the suspended animation of its piano etudes.” A completely different and fresh offering from Previte, and out of print.

Can't believe this album is in so few collections here on bandcamp. One of the greatest fusion albums i've heard! (also the other albums of Yo Miles!) bartel hulst

I really appreciate that with such a large group of musicians the overall sound and experience of listening is really spacious, never cluttered. The lovely recording helps that a lot, and of course the compositional aspects that make it breathe are superb- it gets more and more fun as I listen again and again. Jasper Skydecker

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special.
These compositions are from the heart and I can only suggest that you take them to yours...
