The Circle of Time is the fourth album by American pianist Amina Claudine Myers, recorded in 1983 for the Italian Black Saint label.
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos stated: "Myers freely explores jazz, blues, and gospel-tinged creative music in her own inimitable way. All of these six pieces were written by Myers, each showcasing a different side of her joyous persona, making her music deep, listenable, tuneful, and emotional". [1]
