Aug 17, 2014 at 15:19 comment added Pat Muchmore Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns is the book that many have suggested Coltrane was inspired by when he was exploring multi-tonic ideas. It's more a collection of musical patterns than a book though. Schillinger's relationship to Slonimsky is unclear to me, other than the fact that he seems to have written an article that focused on the more symmetric structures within the Thesaurus, but I might be missing something. I know that back in the day, tons of jazz musicians were picking up the Thesaurus when they heard Coltrane used it.
