The main body of the LCC and its practical application, including all 4 published versions of Book 1 with their inserts: the 1959 tan cover; the 1959 light green cover Japanese edition; the 1970‘s white cover, which adds an illustrated River Trip to the 1959 edition, and the currently available Fourth Edition, 2001.

The authorization code is the first word on Page 198 of the Fourth Edition of the LCCTO.

An open letter from Alice Russell. June 21, 2011, Brookline, Massachusetts. 1. DO NOT make insulting, mean spirited remarks about anyone or their work; there are a plethora of sites where you can rant unfettered. If you attack someone personally, your comments will be removed. You can post it, but I'm not paying for it. Go elsewhere, and let those artists who are actually interested in discussion and learning have the floor. 2. There will be NO posting of or links to copyrighted material without permission of the copyright owner. That's the law. And if you respect the work of people who make meaningful contributions, you should have no problem following this policy. 3. I appreciate many of the postings from so many of you. Please don't feel you have to spend your time "defending" the LCC to those who come here with the express purpose of disproving it. George worked for decades to disprove it himself; if you know his music, there's no question that it has gravity. And a final word: George was famous for his refusal to lower his standards in all areas of his life, no matter the cost. He twice refused concerts of his music at Lincoln Center Jazz because of their early position on what was authentically jazz. So save any speculation about the level of him as an artist and a man. The quotes on our websites were not written by George; they were written by critics/writers/scholars/fans over many years. Sincerely, Alice

These are very interesting... it's great to see what's happened with notation software - connecting with the ipad and programs like Max/MSP, etc

thanks!

I was in East Lansing Michigan visiting my wife's family a couple of weeks ago and went to hear the Rodney Whitaker Sextet at the Broad Museum of Art, with Diego Rivera on sax, an amazing piano player from the masters program and his daughter on vocals. Beautiful music from Bird and Ellington on... He still lives in Detroit and runs the MSU jazz program... so I assume you know him. The next day students in the museum were playing radical new music by Pauline Oliveros... They also had a beautiful exhibition called Pattern and some early work from visual music pioneers James and John Whitney which I'd never seen in the flesh before. This was some kind of deja vu, like the first time I saw Jazz on a Summers Day – the atmosphere (in this case Zaha Hadid's architecture) with these sounds, the art and the film...

I'm in Scotland now. My mother's funeral was last weekend - a beautiful event. And now there's an opportunity at DeMontfort University to do my Visual Music as full-time research... Been listening to a lot of Cyrus Chestnut lately... a short video by Cathe: http://youtu.be/z7IusDzDalU Hope you're well ML.
