In music circles, the Lydian Chromatic Concept by George Russell has built a reputation as a daunting model, a brilliant but esoteric idea best suited for the minds of geniuses like Miles Davis. And that reputation isn't entirely unearned, but it's led a lot of people to not engage with Russell's work when it's actually not that hard to understand, so I'm gonna try to demystify it a bit and explain what he was actually trying to do.

I have to say, this one lost me, more than usual. I'm perfectly okay with that. One of the reasons that I watch this channel is that I didn't study music theory past freshman general ed stuff.

About the book you couldn't find except at very high price, that sounds like the sort of thing the Internet Archive really should be looking to get. They can afford the original, and they can scan it and put it up there so you and the next scholar who needs to use it can just use it. I don't know how to ask them to go looking for it, though.
