Free Jazz, Harmolodics, and Ornette Coleman—
Stephen Rush. Free Jazz, Harmolodics, and Ornette
Coleman discusses Ornette Coleman's musical philosophy
of "Harmolodics," an improvisational system deeply
inspired by the Civil Rights Movement. Falling under
the guise of "free jazz," Harmolodics can be difficult

significant-system of jazz improvisation.
