i have the lp issue of this and consider it to be ornette's best work, period. prime time or classic quartet. when o when will this be reissued on american cd?

In music school, I learned about how all music comes from Bach. This music does not come from Bach. This music comes from Ornette Coleman. I prefer it to that Bach stuff. And most other stuff too. Great album cover too.

This is a great studio session of Ornette Coleman, with Prime Time, his double quartet at that time.

It was a great thing to behold in concert. This recording captures the magic of the double quartet backing one of the great innovators of our time.

Why hasn't this been reissued? This is the best of Ornette's early Prime Time recordings. "Dancing in your head" lacks some depth, "Body Meta" is almost unlistenable, "Virgin Beauty" is beautiful, but a little bland. "Of Human Feelings" is a fully realized vision of free jazz-funk fusion. Every time I listen to it, it seems better.

While sonically the record falls short of documenting the sonic hurricane that Prime Time was, it is full of marvelous tunes and ridiculously (and that's good thing) inspired playing. A somewhat undersung masterpiece by the great visonary Ornette is.

When will this CD be released domestically? This is one of the best works
from Ornette's prime time band. Great eclectic-avant music. And you can tap
your foot to it!

A cornerstone in Ornette's music. A must have if you are a fan.

One cut is worth a thousand words. Just buy it.

this is perhaps the weekest output of coleman. the pieces have a short song format and are polished to easy-listening radio style. it?s not that the themes are not good, but it?s not prime time?s best afford. listen to "dancing in your head" and "body meta", these are excellent, prime time at its?s best!
