This CD is often quite exciting, if a bit messy. Ornette Coleman (on alto, trumpet and violin) is heard with his "double quartet" Prime Time, which at the time was comprised of guitarists Bern Nix and Charlie Ellerbee, electric bassists Al MacDowell and Chris Walker, and drummers Denardo Coleman (who also plays some keyboards) and Calvin Weston. As if the ensembles are not dense and overcrowded enough, Jerry Garcia sits in on third guitar on three of the 11 Coleman originals. The music is frequently exciting, but will take several listens to absorb. Worth investigating.
A few days ago Our fine community at large was propositioned for some happy music. I quote "carmensandiego's":http://mog.com/carmensandiego post (really a plea) here;"*Does anyone out there have a collection of songs that just make you smile? Things are kind of low on this end – death has struck again – and I could really use some new (upbeat) music to lift my spirits.*":http://mog.com/carmens
