Jazzbühne Berlin '88 is a live album by Ornette Coleman and his band Prime Time.

[1][2][3] According to the album credits, Coleman appears on alto saxophone, trumpet, and vocals, and is joined by guitarists Bern Nix and Charles Ellerbee, bass guitarists Al McDowell and Chris Wilker, and drummers Calvin Weston and Denardo Coleman.

[4] However, as per Richard Cook and Brian Morton, authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz, "eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out the inconsistency between the liner photo" taken during the concert, which shows a different band, "and the putative line-up" listed in the sleeve credits.

[6] Coleman biographer John Litweiler lists the personnel as Coleman, Chris Rosenberg and Ken Wessel on guitar, Al MacDowell and Chris Walker on bass guitar, Denardo Coleman on drums, and Badal Roy on tablas, which agrees with the proposed lineup suggested by Cook and Morton.

[7] In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote: "The group's interaction sounds thin and almost routine; little inspiration is heard either in their solos or massed activity... the absence of incredible musicians like Don Cherry, Charlie Haden, and Ed Blackwell and the telepathic interplay they shared with Coleman is a loss that makes itself felt with virtually every note.
