Prime Time is an influential jazz ensemble established by Ornette Coleman, an American jazz saxophonist, violinist, trumpeter, and composer. The band is renowned for its development and refinement of the harmolodic system, a unique musical methodology that treats harmony, movement, and melody as equal in the composition and improvisation process. Notable members include Coleman himself, along with musicians like Charlie Ellerbee and Bern Nix on guitars. Prime Time's signature sound is characterized by freely improvised, intricate melodies layered over steady, pulsating rhythms, as exemplified in influential works like "Dancing in Your Head" and "Body Meta".
