95 Hardcover MT50 Goldenberg (Jerusalem Academy of Music & Dance Research) examines theorist Heinrich Schenker's admonition against the prolongation of seventh chords in traditional tonal music, which he viewed as a prolongation of dissonance.
There are plenty of extended stretches of free improv - but the seamless joining of conventionally tonal music (even some jazzy phrasing and riffing) with a spikier vocabulary and some startling solos from all across the contemporary-music soundscape makes this a richer, more dramatic and more moving achievement than Mitchell's somewhat acerbic one.
Please ask yourself: how much tonal music have I heard compared to atonal music?
