I've been reading levine's jazz piano book, and I was wondering why the chord symbol notation seem so arbitrary at times, like with the phrygian chord.
Why notate G7/E when it's actually a rootless G9/11 over E, or just stick with Esus4 b9?

This is out of my element, so I tried googling it and now I'm just as lost as you. That first chord doesn't seem to be a G9 at all.
It does seem that Esus4 b9 is also acceptable though, not that I've read the book yet but

the firt chord is a G9/13 chord, 9 being the A, 13 the E on top. If you remove the root note, only having , it's supposed to be a rootless G9/13. Just, the Esus4b9 is often just noted as G7/E instead of G9 13/E or at least G9/E, which let's you assume the 13 extension.
My point is, G7/E is a kinda lazy notation and forces a moment of recalling the 9 and 13 extension as well as removing the root from the G chord. Other than that, the book is really good so far, at least for a classical trained person.

Early music is just fine on the piano at least as long as it's not in 12TET

Looks like serial analysis to me. Goodness are these some contorted tone rows, but I guess that's why it says "polyphonie of series". Also what on Earth do the claves have to do with this?
