I remember reading articles about Coleman in jazz mags (Wire etc) and the theory of harmolodics. I never quite grasped the concept until I saw Prime Time in Manchester in 1988 and suddenly realised that they all seemed to solo at the same time weaving in and out of each others sound.

Been thinking about this in the last few days and whether this was the inspiration for the fast show 'jazz club' sketches especially the sketch with the 'James Nance quartet' with 'Clam' on bass. They sound remarkably like Prime Time from that period... Nice!

Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society are not too far away from that sound too.

Thanks for the link. I know that some jazz timid types or fusion lightweights (;-) may find that a tad busy, but I absolutely loved it.
Nice indeed.
