Ornette Coleman: Intro To Harmolodics

[@alanasda7705]

Harmolodics is hard to explain but it basically democratizes the relationship between melody, harmony and rhythm. And Ornette Coleman, with his theory of harmolodics, didn’t just rewrote the language of jazz. He changed the way people hear music. Rest In Peace Ornette Coleman 🙏🏾

The " EXPRESSIVE ABSTRACTNESS ". IS HELD IN WITHIN, TO BE BORN AND WITH SCREAMS. IT BURSTS UNTO THE WORLD IN THE SOUNDS OF POETRY. WONDERCHEK ///.

I truly believe that Ornette Coleman is one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music, not just jazz. He’s in the same category as the greats (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Bartók, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Joplin, Ellington, Bird, Monk, Miles, Trane, Shorter, etc.) because he not only liberated jazz from conventional harmony, tonality and structure, but he showed us how to truly listen to the music and how to take it in.

Lest we not forget, Sun Ra.

[@gregarnold1696]

I've listened for years read the academic ideas and I have to say I don't get it but the truth is I feel Ornette Coleman's music so deeply it is truly a human experience

[@Trollbot007]

I’m always rooting for contrarians. This man was definitely a genius.

[@MaxIsBackInTown]

An undisputed genius

[@NPAnetwork963]

This is more than a video on music; it’s a philosophy of life that goes beyond words. He seemed to have a freed understanding of being a human.

[@vudu8ball]

Delightful. I have always chocked on free jazz but this openned my eyes and ears. Ornette comes across so sweet and likable a real genius.

[@omniversiddhialterdestiny]

I've been waiting my whole life for this

Coleman, Ulmer, Cherry, et al. ... the music sounds as my mind and body often feel.

it's the misunderstood

[@shaft9000]

Thank you for the upload! OC is as influential as anyone else in jazz on the music (that I've) heard from this century. Inspiring as hell, conceptually thick in moments - yet his music can often sound and feel like a fresh rinse over the brain and heart.

[@HarmolodicDreamer]

This is amazing. Enjoyed it greatly. Ornette is my hero!

[@jeffdawson2786]

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love his work!!

[@lukeleavitt6067]

Great video! Much food for thought, especially his comments on education

[@Mr.BoogieWoogie]

When Ornette Coleman describes harmolodics as "removing the caste system from sound," it makes perfect sense. On a broader level, harmolodics equates with the freedom to be as you please, as long as you listen to others and work with them to develop your own individual harmony. The richness of harmolodics derives from the unique interaction between the players. By breaking out of the prison bars of rigid meters and conventional harmonic or structural expectations, harmolodic musicians improvise equally together in what Ornette calls compositional improvisation, while always keeping deeply in tune with the flow, direction and needs of their fellow players. In this process, harmony becomes melody becomes harmony.

[@michaelbrownstein8710]

this is fabulous, such genius, such generosity!

[@cmoorenow2]

Ms Wunmi doing her Harmolodic dance! Yeah, girl!

[@donovanjones4175]

I know nothing about her, thanks for the info. I’ll look her up.

[@javierenriquenunezandrade7523]

You can ear ORNETTE HARMOLODICS influence on MILES "ON THE CORNER "in 1973 .

[@zackpumpkinhead8882]

No wonder he teamed up with David Cronenberg. What a brilliantly bizzarre mind!

[@newamericanfolkhero]

This is wonderful. Thank you so much!

[@TheRealTomWendel]

Ornette somehow reached a point where he saw life differently. He reflected that in his music and managed to find a handful of artists who could relate. What he did was uniquely inspirational. There were critics and doubters, but there were listeners who were struck by the beauty of what he was doing. None of that seemed to influence his trajectory.

[@andyokus5735]

Ornette speaks to me. Am I way out? Hope so. .

[@Jiv_Ing57819]

He tries 2 speak 2 all of us : -)

[@SUNKINGME]

Thanks for this!
