You just let me identify a song (Destination) through Google (and your comments about lyrics) that I had anonymously recorded on radio in 1987 and I was looking for since 20 years. To be very honest, i was afraid to die before knowing who was playing it. Somewhere you saved my life ;o) Neverending thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-74415920967985162992008-08-07T04:43:00.000-04:002008-08-07T04:43:00.000-04:00Skies of America was also performed at the Royal ...Skies of America was also performed at the Royal Festival Hall in London in 1988 and I think also elsewhere in Europe around the same time. I was at the Festival Hall and I remember enjoying the concert very much. I'm pretty sure there was a broadcast as well. There's some pictures in Steve Day's book - "Ornette Coleman: Music Always" (Soundworld Publishers, 2000).<BR/><BR/>I agree with the comments about Opening the Caravan of Dreams - it's one of the best Prime Time records.<BR/> <BR/>I'm currently enjoying the Science Fiction sessions the most of Ornette's work. The group with Bobby Bradford is wonderful - if only there was more....Jean Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610886712719415862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-56599725928989890372008-07-12T13:45:00.000-04:002008-07-12T13:45:00.000-04:00I have no idea if this opinion is shared by anyone...I have no idea if this opinion is shared by anyone, but <I>Opening the Caravan of Dreams</I> is my favorite Prime Time record (yes, I like it better than the first two). It's a shame it's out of print, because it's heads and shoulders above <I>In All Languages</I> and <I>Virgin Beauty</I>. Your description of <I>Song X</I> ("good intense playing, barely controlled free for all") applies to this one as well.<BR/><BR/>Re: the quality of the tunes on <I>Of Human Feelings</I>, give "Sleep Talk" a spin, and then compare it to the exquisite version on <I>Sound Grammar</I> as "Sleep Talking". You may change your mind about that one tune, at least (and maybe appreciate the Prime Time version better; I did).Seth Tisuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193878850743685199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-3013005283963260172008-07-11T10:48:00.000-04:002008-07-11T10:48:00.000-04:00Skies of America has been performed at least twice...Skies of America has been performed at least twice. Once in Fort Worth at the time of the opening of the Caravan of Dreams in the early 1980s and once as part of the Lincoln Center Summer Festival within the last ten years or so when Coleman was the featured composer. <BR/><BR/>There's long been a rumor of an Ornette Coleman collection in the works from Revenant Records that's supposed to make clear what harmolodics is all about, but the last I heard anything "concrete about it must have been at least 4 years ago.Herb Levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361075879064632458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-26716596183279858572008-07-07T21:32:00.000-04:002008-07-07T21:32:00.000-04:00The first Prime Times appeared during a stretch wh...The first Prime Times appeared during a stretch when I was stereo-less due to an apartment robbery, about late '76 to late '78, so I missed a lot of things that were issued then. I heard it often on KCR though and, as I said, saw the band in the summer of '77. Admittedly, I was pretty strongly into an anti-rock phase at the time so looked widely askance at the project. Maybe it's tainted my opinion, but the group never really did much for me. <BR/><BR/>I think of harmolodics simply as, after playing the head, everyone soloing but doing so more on the "feel" of the melody than anything else. Seems like at least one member is almost always repeating the head (I noticed that with Tacuma this afternoon).Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-55673978506765218872008-07-07T20:28:00.000-04:002008-07-07T20:28:00.000-04:00Ornette recorded with Prime Time on Body Meta whic...Ornette recorded with Prime Time on <I>Body Meta</I> which was on Artists House at about the same time. Also he was on Blood Ulmer's <I>Tales of Captain Black</I> which was pretty much Ornette type music anyway (why don't you humor us and give your definition of harmolodics; it would definitely enhance the innerwebzz). The AMM story is pretty funny; did anybody honestly expect Ornette to be interested in their music?<BR/><BR/>You never got <I>Dancing in Your Head</I>? Lucky you. btw, I have a download of <I>Paris Concert</I> if you want a burn.Captain Hatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07663784368925841294noreply@blogger.com
