Body Meta is Ornette Coleman's first album with his group Prime Time, recorded in 1976 and released in 1978 on the Artists House label. It marks the beginning of his exploration of the harmolodic style in an electric and rhythmic context.
The album was recorded at Columbia Studios in New York and features a lineup including James Blood Ulmer on guitar, Jamaaladeen Tacuma on bass, and Ronald Shannon Jackson on drums. The music blends free jazz with funk and rock, creating a dense, polyrhythmic sound.
Body Meta was received as an innovative work that expanded the boundaries of jazz, though it initially divided critics due to its departure from traditional harmonic conventions. Today it is considered a landmark in the fusion of jazz with popular music.
