Acoustic PrimeTime, inspired by Denardo Coleman: a nimble, dynamic homage to Ornette, New Orleans polyphony, and M-Base. We Love Ornette! After a series of workshops with Coleman’s son and PrimeTime drummer Denardo, the goal was to build an acoustic version of PrimeTime. The resulting jumble is engaging, dynamic and nimble, not only a nod to Ornette, but to New Orleans polyphony and the inverted grooves of Steve Coleman’s M-Base. We Love Ornette is a harmolodic dream team! Lisa Parrott (Marty Ehrlich, Webber/Morris Big Band) Kirk Knuffke (Cécile McLorin Salvant, Charlie Hunter, William Parker) Jeff Lederer (Matt Wilson, Bobby Sanabria, Jimmy Bosch) Curtis Hasselbring (Medeski Martin & Wood, David Byrne) Allison Miller (Marty Ehrlich, Kenny Barron, Artemis) Chris Lightcap (Regina Carter, Paul Motian, John Scofield, Anthony Braxton) Kenny Wessel (Ornette Coleman, David Liebman, Karl Berger) Being a Human Being: A Harmolodic Suite for Seven Harmolodicists in Seven Movements by Lisa Parrott and We Love Ornette has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America’s New Jazz Works program funded through the Doris Duke Foundation.
