I think after Miles had gone to retire for 5 or 6 years, I began to be increasingly interested in Ornette Coleman´s PrimeTime. 

Sure I had heard the "Free Jazz" with the Double Quartet at older friends when I was less than 14, and loved it, but like Miles, who played other music than "Nefertiti" or "All Blues" when I heard him, the same was with Ornette Coleman. But it was great, so much rhythm. 

This album seems to be much later than what I had heard in the 70´s since it sounds much more "polished" but very very fine. And there is one ballad on which Ornette plays some incredible fine trumpet. Up into the highest register, and maybe if Miles would have lived longer and heard that, he would have changed his opinion that Ornette can´t play trumpet. 

Well, I like his violin playing also very much, but it seems he does not play violin on that record. 

My younger son loves "Opening at Caravan of Dreams" for it´s "Punk Rock Sound", and me too, I love especially "dark punk" I mean the style, the fashion and sure, the music, so there we have somethin in common......

Maz Roach Quartet, The Loadstar (Horo)

The Six, The View from Jazzbo's Head (Bethlehem)

I´ve never heard the "Loadstar". Can you recommend it. 

I saw Max Roach around 1978, and have heard it´s around that time it was made, is it a good record ?

It’s a great record Gheorghe. Highly recommended. The band with Harper, Bridgewater and Workman captured live in a very powerful performance.

Charles Gayle / William Parker / Milford Graves - WEBO 3 LP set. Stunning. Milford was a beast. 

 

[clifford_thornton]

He certainly was. Saw him quite a number of times over the years (as well as William & to a lesser extent, Gayle).

Must have been a great experience Clifford. I’m jealous. 

After four sides of this trio I needed a small cool down before old years dinner:

my favorite MJQ

the last and third LP of this magnificent set 

[Gheorghe]

But I must admit I listened only to the second of the two vinyls. I like Prime Time better than the acoustic stuff, I don´t know why, but Prime Time thrills me more.

Prime Time was thrilling. All that sound, twin guitars, bass guitars and drums improvising simultaneously, with Ornette holding it all together in the center. And every set there would be a solo feature for each player, literally solo; it was kind of shocking the first time, after the sonic maelstrom that preceded it. Charlie Ellerbee/Bern Nix, Albert McDowell/Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Denardo Coleman/[I forgot the other drummer's name]. That was the best version of Prime Time.

yeah you right ! I suppose you saw them live at Caravan of Dreams ? 

My younger son loves their music, he is a punk and says it reminds him of Punk Rock. Well I can associate myself also with that, being a Goth or Dark Punk. 

I love all kinds of really dense stuff like the Miles when he had Pete Cosey and Reggie Lucas, and.......Ornette´s Prime Time. There is not so much type of music like that, or at least not with that energy. 

If I listen to that, it´s drugs, you can´t stop and you go on and go on and wish it will never stop 🤣

 

[Pim]

I did it! I’ve bought myself a copy with my birthday moneys collected from my family and friends. This record has been a favorite since I started with more free kinds of jazz. I must have been 16 years old something like that I remember spinning it while reading Malcolm X’s autobiography and George Jackson’s Soledad Brother. I was fascinated by that period of US history. I bought myself a bootleg copy on vinyl later by I always hated the sound of it. I don’t think the playing on it is the best around but I still like it so much for its honest and direct energy. It’s a bit of a rough diamond. must have been quite a show there at the East. 

Very happy with this original Japanese copy now

Yes, I saw Prime Time five times in the club (2 sets each time), and once playing live music to accompany  a play in their theater. At one point during the play, Ornette stood directly in front of me, a couple feet away, playing an unaccompanied solo. The play wasn't good; the music for it was amazing.

Such a great feeling when you finally pull the trigger on a long held want. And then it arrives!

A favourite Japanese dealer of mine had one for sale a couple of weeks ago, I wonder if you were the lucky buyer...

 

Enjoy being at the East!!

[clifford_thornton]

I didn't know (or had forgotten that) there was a Japanese pressing of that record. Very nice.

[JSngry]

Was it a Japanese pressing or a Japanese dealer? Or both?

[clifford_thornton]

Japanese pressing, not sure about the dealer (though I think I know the spot that @mjazzg is referring to).
