On Christmas evening 1962, Ornette Coleman produced and recorded his own concert at Town Hall in New York with David Izenzon (bass), Charles Moffett (drums), and a string ensemble. An important release documenting a point of change in Coleman's work, the song "Dedication to Poets and Writers" for string quartet is now widely recognized as his first harmolodic chamber music based on the ideas he would later call Harmolodics. This classical string quartet piece fits together curiously well with the three trio pieces.
