George Russell’s Lydian Chromatic Concept From 1960 Through 1972: The Foundation of Jazz Education and Chord-Scale Theory

This paper explores the development of George Russell&rsquo;s Lydian Chromatic Concept during the early years of jazz education, composition, and improvisation from 1960- 1972. It also discusses Russell&rsquo;s influence on Miles Davis, who created the greatest selling jazz record of all-time, Kind of Blue, as the LCC was a catalyst for the stylistic innovation of modality. Information was acquired through scholarly articles &amp; websites, LCC Text, Organic Music Theory, and interviews with former students or colleagues of Russell. This goal of this thesis is to better understand specific elements of George Russell&rsquo;s Lydian Chromatic Concept and to explore the history of the early years of the concept&rsquo;s development.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p
