Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a massive retrospective of his harmolodic theories, this double album features Coleman performing the same set of compositions with two distinct ensembles. The first half reunites his original acoustic quartet, while the second presents his electric Prime Time band, creating a fascinating, dense dialogue between acoustic free jazz and aggressive funk rhythms.
