Hmmmmm.....
It always puzzles me when George Russell isn't mentioned among them.
When we play in Europe, we usually make sold out shows with great
reviews, but never on this continent.
Nothing personal, Christopher, of course :-)
Well, George is an important and influential composer for sure, but I
never knew his harmony was noted for being linear. I always enjoyed his
mixed-modes approach to harmony and his layered counterpoint, which is
not quite the same thing, though of course it is great-sounding and
well-established.
Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am far from an expert on his
music. I would be happy to include his name in my usual lists from now
on!
Christopher
