WONDERFUL!! never thought I'd hear a cogent summary of TS Kuhn here in the intellectual wasteland of YouTube!! I studied the same, from a professor who had been one of Kuhn's post grads. (You know K Popper was dreadfully wrong though .. ha ha).
Now I'm a lawyer who can barely play bass. THANK YOU for reviving such great memories!

Part 2: I've read the book and I'm really looking forward towards your rendering of it. Keep it up!

I made my way about half-way through Ben's Organic Music Theory before getting side-tracked and losing my place. This series might be just the prod I need to dig back into that work and Russell's concepts. I'm looking forward to you exploring some of the applications mentioned and implied in this episode.

Looking forward to the next videos. My full knowledge of the theory was summed up in your first video.

Bob is one of the best Jazz educators online. So excited that he has taken up this very interesting topic. Amazing that he's taken the time to lay out the philosophical underpinnings. This is gonna be an all time great series of videos!!

[felix_alvarez]

can't thank you enough for these videos man. What a blessing

I'm really looking forward to the next one Bobby because I read the book, felt that I understood each concept as it was explained, but at the end of it had no idea what to do with any of it. I grasped everything you explained in the first video and still had no idea what he was talking about generally or how to apply any of it practically. I'm hoping your next video will enlighten me.

What is this incredible content which I am witnessing?! WOW! Incredible job and thank you :)

[SilkMisl]

Superb video! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[markyachnin]

This was an enjoyable and informative video. I'm eager for the next one!

Hello Bob, I’m loving this series on the LCC! I think your background as a philosophy major will bring a fresh approach to this complicated and somewhat obscure subject. I’m very excited about what would result falsified in the LCC from your analyses. Thank you for your time and dedication!

For other interesting takes on the LCC check out the critical review series that Bebop review did —don’t miss out the discussions in the comments— and the video ‘Mode is a chord symbol: an alternate history of the Lydian Chromatic Concept’ from Shapes music.

Fantastic video, looking forward to this series!

[ayanjoemusic]

Oh yes I am definitely in for this. Going to use this series for my studies.

Dear Bob: great video, as usual. Your philosophy background explains your competence as a communicator and teacher! I just wanted to say you that you have caused me to get a trumpet and give it a try... with means that I am hooked to the channel while not being a trumpet player, and only a very mediocre piano thumper. Thanks!

I went to NEC, and read Kuhn while studying religion at Yale afterward. It's brilliant of you to frame Russell's innovation in light of Kuhn. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I hope you will bring Ben along at some point in the serie That would be absolutely perfect.
