| | Ornette Coleman Dancing In Your Head CD Ornette Coleman Discography of CDs
Ornette's "Dancing In Your Head" starts with a piercing, melodic chant that sounds like a schoolyard taunt. The independence of the instruments and the disassociated chords of the electric guitar are strongly reminiscent of Captain Beefheart's work of around that time (1975). While it would not be incorrect to call the music annoying, it also would not be incorrect to say that it contains joyous, liberating qualities that refresh the ears.
Prime Time's cluttered grooves support Ornette's solo (Prime Time being Charles Ellerbee and Bern Nix (guitars), Jamaaladeen Tacuma (bass) and Ronald Shannon Jackson (drums)). Coleman calls the musical theory underpinning the music "harmolodics"--whatever the name, the music sounds clunky and brash, almost deliberately nanve.
The last two cuts on "Dancing In Your Head" are from tapes that Coleman made with the Master Musicians of Jajouka (Jajouka is a village in Northwestern Morocco). Their instruments--the ghaita is a thin sounding reed instrument, the tebel a double-headed drum--sound like they blend well with Coleman, although it would be interesting to know what the Master Musicians thought of the collaboration. Two pieces are represented here, and there is a point during each recording when some sort of apotheosis seems to occur.
Recorded in Jajouka, Morocco in January 1973 and at Barclay Studios, Paris, France on December 28, 1975.

Spin (11/00, p.202) - 10 out of 10 - "...The most radical incarnation of Coleman's 50-some-year career....debuting Prime Time, a maelstrom of a band....Revolutionary, yes. But funky as all get out."
Q (9/00, pp.121-3) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Still reliant on his 'harmolodic' system...[this] is decidedly heavy on the drums....'Midnight Sunrise' certainly creates an exotic, incantatory pulse, which Coleman's keening sax only accentuates..."
Alternative Press (11/00, pp.101-2) - 3 out of 5 - "...The more interesting music comes from Coleman's collaboration with Morocco's Master Musicians Of Joujouka....demonstrating that maybe harmolodics isn't so new after all."
