Jolivet was part of this group as well.  They all were seen to have taken
off in some way from Stravinsky.  The three main groups in Paris at the
time were Les Six, L'Ecole d'Arceuil, and L'Ecole de Paris.  I believe
there was also a Jeune France, but I couldn't off-hand tell you who was
in it.

I believe that so-called "Tcherepnin scale" was derived from Georgian (back
in the USSR) folk music.
