Let's analyze a few bars of this interesting line: It took a few years, but I finally figured that since Coltrane hadn't studied the music prior to the session, he hadn't considered the chord substitutions I'd made in the process of arranging Manhattan. Chapter I11 is a continuation of the theoretical foundation of the Lydian Chromatic Concept. A ladder of six consecutive intervals of fifths' ascending from the Lydian Tonic forms a Lydian Scale, the seminal scale of the Principle of Tonal Gravity and there- fore of the Lydian Chromatic Scale. This is the most ingoing and natural tonal envi- ronment for minor chords.
