Edited 5 months agoMaybe not his best album, but as a capstone to Prime Time (yes, i know Tone Dialing from 1995 is attributed to Prime Time as well, but apart from Denardo the other usual suspects had already jumped ship), Ornette Coleman could have done a lot worse. The music feels open, bright, sunny and inviting, making this easy to love. Certainly not a sellout, this is Prime Time at their most accessible. A good introduction. Recommended.referencing Virgin Beauty (CD, Album) RK 44301
My personal favorite Ornette album. It seems at first listen like one of those "sellout records" that washed-up Anglophone rock stars made in the eighties, but it's tougher and more lovingly crafted than that. Evidence is the dozens of little arrangement touch-ups that beautify the themes. And I don't know much about jazz improvisations but I do know that I appreciate the bluegrass-y bass run in "Happy Hour."
