The King of Harmelodic Funk!!!

"This was introduction to later period Ornette Coleman, and to my ears remains one of his better electric recordings. Ornette and Prime Time really cook up a storm on this release of mostly short numbers. Jerry Garcia (!) from the Grateful Dead even sits in on a couple of selections and feels right at home. The music is well played and loaded with feeling, especially the untitled, mostly solo closing track."
Ornette's best Prime Time Album! HIs best album of the 1980s

"How can this review express how cool this album is? Ornette and Prime Time go OFF! This album has everything, even Jerry Garcia! The most underated album of the 1980s!Vigin Beauty has some of Ornette's best Harmelodic funk tunes (Healing the Feeling), Harmelodic country tunes (Happy Hour) and those intensely beautiful harmelodic ballads (Virgin Beauty, Chanting & Unknown Artist). Buy it...learn the tunes, regardless of whether yhou play an instrument or not!"
