At the Golden Circle Stockholm is a two volume album by Ornette Coleman Trio, documenting concerts on the nights of December 3rd and 4th 1965 in the Gyllene Cirkeln club in Stockholm. It is both the first recording of Coleman's new Trio and the beginning of his contract with Blue Note.
The music has been described as "brilliant, optimistic closely unified thematic improvisations" Snowflakes and Sunshine marked the introduction of his unconventional violin and trumpet playing. "In Coleman's hands, both instruments are refunctioned into 'sound tools' (...) producers of sounds, rhythms and emotions."
