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.

In september 2024 Ohad Talmor released this album containing unreleased music of Ornette Coleman, written by the Maestro himself, but never recorded.
