George Russell — The Complete Remastered Recordings On Black Saint & Soul Note [9 CD, 2010]

 

George Allen Russell was an American jazz pianist, composer and theorist. He is considered one of the first jazz musicians to contribute to general music theory with a theory of harmony based on Jazz rather than European music that was outlined in his textbook 'The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization.'

 This specially-priced set includes nine classic albums from Black Saint/Soul Note. Included are Electronic Sonata for Those Loved by Nature (I and II), Othello Ballet Suite, Vertical Form VI, Listen to the Silence, Trip to Prillarguri, New York Big Band, The Essence of George Russell and Live in an American Time Spiral.
