Andy Wasserman - The Seven Vertical Scales (2020) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

On this unique and informative sonic exploration of original solo piano artistry, Andy pays tribute in his signature style to the Seven Vertical Scales at the core of George Russell's ground-breaking treatise on music theory "The Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization - the art and science of Tonal Gravity."

This recording is an aural tribute to the monumental keystone that is George Russell's life's work and his contribution to all music and music theory.

Each spontaneous composition and improvisation allows the listener to hear the voice, color and flavor of each Vertical Chord-Producing Parent Scale in the specific order from Ingoing to Outgoing as they exist in close- to-distant relationship to the center of tonal gravity, The Lydian Tonic.

These six tracks present the following musical selections: 1) The Lydian Scale (Ingoing), 2) The Lydian Augmented Scale, 3) The Lydian Diminished Scale (Semi-Ingoing/Consonant Nucleus), 4) The Lydian Flat Seventh Scale, 5) The Auxiliary Augmented Scale (Semi-Outgoing), 6) The Auxiliary Diminished Scale (Semi-Outgoing) and The Auxiliary Diminished Blues Scale (Outgoing).
