When Ornette Coleman first introduced Prime Time in the mid-70s, the instrumentation suggested that Ornette had made an accomodation to rock and R&B styles. But if anything, the saxophonist was inspired by the ritual thunder of the Master Musicians of Joujouka, and by the immense textural possibilities of a symphony orchestra.
Musical details and conversational nuances abound in Prime Time's music, and with each re-hearing, listeners get to approach the music on TONE DIALING from a different perspective. As they shift their focus from Ornette's keening alto to one of the accompanying instruments, heretofore obscure ideas are revealed.
The overall sound of TONE DIALING follows the design of Prime Time's 1988 recording, VIRGIN BEAUTY, in that Ornette and producer Denardo Coleman take a Phil Spector-Keith Richards approach to the mix. In the process of compressing and limiting to make each individual voice sound smaller, the scope of the overall canvas grows larger. And his new Prime Time band, especially tabla master Badal Roy, seems better able to anticipate Ornette's need for instantaneous orchestrations than the previous ensemble ever was.
TONE DIALING is a brilliant melange of contemporary, traditional and futuristic ideas; its sixteen performances portraying a very personal overview of dance and trance musics from America, planet Earth and beyond. "Search For Life" is a humanistic rap tune with layers of musical give and take, and "Guadalupe" is a charming mix of West Indian melodies. "Bach Prelude" is a rhythmic vivisection of the opening movement from Bach's solo Cello Suite #1, contrasting the traditional theme with harmolodic takeoffs, while "Miguel's Fortune" depicts multiple melodies over a swinging street beat, and "La Capella," "Badal" and "Family Reunion" bring the tablas front and center for dancing high life celebrations. But there are also additional moments of great tenderness ("Kathelin Gray") and convulsive harmolodic convergences (the title tune, "OAC" and "Ying Yang"), all propelled by Ornette's vocalized alto saxophone.
