I've heard a few people talking about the LCC but you're the first to refer to it's contemporary relevance. I'd love to hear you enlarging on this with a few examples. Fascinating.
Stacking fourths and fifths spanning the chromatic scale is only because the 5 and 7 semitone interval is relatively prime to the 12 semitone interval in the octave whereas the 3 and 4 semitone interval of a minor and major third respectively is not.
I think he was very forward thinking. Seeing chords and scales as vertical and horizontal expressions of the same thing was new at the time. Lydian is indeed the parental scale to major. It is balanced by it's fifth relationship and the F# sounds better in C. Life is on the 5th planet Ionia. The avoid tone fa, makes the unresolved, yearning and ugly possible and we need that to tell our story.
Thanks for this video! Would love to learn about some examples of how it's been used. I'm also curious... could you give some examples of the current New York musicians you were referring to (talking about using some complex harmonic stuff, bass inversions, etc.)? I'm a big jazz fan but don't know a lot of current stuff, so I'd love to hear some examples of that.
I've noticed that within complex tonal music, theorist today seem to prefer Transformation theory (TT) to explain how music is moving. However, there are a few who use a modified LCCTO approach combined with TT to explain things - but they don't give George Russell any credit (apart from Michael McClimon BM, MM, PHD).
Nice work….. I always come back to Chick Corea….if you hear it play it, if you don’t hear it don’t play it…..Chick’s solos are awesome and he often plays “wrong” notes from what they teach in schools
Notice how Bird, Monk, Bud Powell, and Gillespie couldn’t care less about this … they just play organically and learned the music that came before them as means for creating a musical vocabulary

sure, let me ponder it and i'll do something on it in my "woodshed" series. thanks for your interest!
My guitar teacher always talked about it, but I never knew how to use it
What i get from this is that you can use all 12 notes when soloing,longer this suspends tonality which means greater liberties when improv

I have no idea what any of this means, but I'm into it
