[quote="MokshaIs"]here's one. So if I'm reading a chart, and the progression goes Ebmaj7, F-7, G-7, what would be the LCC conceptualization? Would i consider each chords parent LC scale, as in Eb Lydian for the Eb chord, Ab Lydian for the F-, and Bb lydian for the G-? Before being introduc...

Sounds like you are on it. Are you doing the exercises in the book?

Here is a link containing recordings of a workshop conducted by Edgar Varese with Mingus, and Art Farmer, and possibly John LaPorta among others:

Not to free-associate but, did you know Satriani studied with jazz great Lennie Tristano? Personally I have found Joe’s compositions to be more interesting than his soloing. This is mainly based on seeing him live years ago. He would launch into this amazing piece and then when the blowing section...

Look at the section on Principal Chords starting around page 23. Check out all the Principal Chordmodes for each modal genre. I think the answer to your question is , yes. You should sit at a piano and play through all those chords.

I love the Joe Henderson Double Rainbow CD but I found myself listening to Triste over and over. They play some really nice changes! First of all they do it in G. Is that the original key? The intro vamp is like F9/G, (Eb Lydian PMGIII MajorIIIB), to a Cmaj9#11/G, ( C Lydian PMG V MajorVB). It’s f...

Welcome home ML.
Bob, that is pretty incredible. Did you go to Istanbul to hook up with that soprano player? I don't blame you if you did. He sure has the tone.

[quote="bobappleton"][quote="sandywilliams"]The videos are beautiful. What a nice tone the soprano player has![/quote] we met ten minutes before the performance. we just started playing and it was great.[/quote] Now you have me curious. Did you improvise to the video or was that ...

Have you ever seen this book before?

Welcome home, Bob. I trust you had a fascinating journey. I bet you had some strong coffee in Istanbul! Your query made do some free-associating that I thought I’d bounce off you guys. GR was obviously hearing music in a way that he felt he could describe best in dimensional terms, vertical, horiz...

How 'bout this:

I can remember GR at the piano, playing the Principal Chordmodes of the eight PMGs. To be truthful, it reminded me so much of the harmony and voicings on Kind Of Blue. This made me do some thinking about the listening and thought process that may have gone through his head when putting together the ...

I’m prone to oversimplifying but I’d like offer this thought about the –2 being the caboose in the LCS: If you play an A minor chord what note would most compromise the tonal integrity of the VI MG? I think the Concept might prove much more useful to you if looked at like it was a cookbook ins...

In HTG there is no abandonment of the Circle of Fifths, which GR called the Circle of Close to Distant Relationships. In VTG the main criteria has to do with notes that create or add to various modal genres, and are in unity with them. If you arrange things FCGDAEBF#, what have you gained in terms o...
