180-Gram Virgin Vinyl Limited Edition - *(*)AllMusic Jazz pianist, composer, arranger and theorist George Russell 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, which he introduced in his book Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization. His superb 1962 LP The Outer View, presented here, finds him at the piano leading a sextet also featuring Don Ellis on trumpet, Garnett Brown on trombone, Paul Plummer on tenor sax, Steve Swallow on bass, and Pete La Roca on drums. Singer Sheila Jordan appears on one unforgettable track. THE COMPLETE ALBUM
