i haven't read the article, yet.
But i do remember reading an interview with Ornette about harmolodic's and after doing so running out to buy Ornette On Tenor, Change Of The Century and another, but the name escapes me right now. i was blown away by the abstractness of it and the things that were done with the mixes were interesting too. I never took the pocket trumpet seriously until i heard Don Cherry doing his thing with it.

Very informative article. I first became aware of him via an interview with Vernon Reid back in the early '90s. My author page: https://www.amazon.com/au...eretttruth | |

I've been into Ornette Coleman's music since I was 16.
It still all holds up. Plus... his bass player became one of my favorites... Jamaaladeen Tacuma. "He's a musician's musician..." |

Ornette and his harmolodics form an essential link into Living Colour's music as well as a number of other "black rock" artists. 
Ronald Shannon Jackson, one of the drummers in Prime Time, 
Ornette's double electric quartet, formed his Decoding Society, an avant-funk jazz unit that was a spring board for Vernon Reid. http://ronaldshannonjackson.com/ Reid's latest project Free Form Funky Freqs is a improv funk-jazz collab with another Prime Time alumni, Jamaladeem Tacuma. http://www.myspace.com/fr...funkyfreqs test | |

It's heavy, hairy stuff but I do love it so. Not always in the mood but, when it feels right, it is like being shot into space.
I hadn't bothered much with his stuff later than about 1980 but the recent Sound Grammar is excellent, holds up well next to those 50s records. | |

+ 1. Same here. Though for me it might have been a couple of years earlier. |
