Ornette Coleman: An Introduction to Harmolodics

In 1995 Ornette Coleman released Tone Dialing with his band Prime Time. It was the first album on his new worldwide label Harmolodic with Polygram. Ornette is always asked, “what is Harmolodics?” Harmolodics is the term he coined to describe his music and his philosophy of life. He decided to do a short film about Harmolodics. A few artists were in enlisted, including Lou Reed, Thurston Moore, Yoko Ono and dancer Wunmi Olaiya. The film only went out to journalists as part of the Tone Dialing press kit. This is the first time it is being released publicly in honor of the occasion of Ornette’s 90th birthday March 9, 2020.
