Seriously, do you think about all those chords when improv? I mean, four chords in a bar would be way too much material to solo over, I bet most of the time the soloist would end up using a single scale to solo over it. Now comping is another story, it would give enough meat to the soloist to blow his mind. Anyway, nice analysis it's always interesting to see how many reharmonizations comes from a single standard.

No I don't agree, although Wave doesn't move between different keys as much as lots of people seem to believe, single-scaling over Wave wouldn't really produce a cool result IMHO.

If the bass plays a D, and comp is a D-chord, is that the Ionian mode? The melody can emphasize E's, but that doesn't change the mode, does it?

There are ways of taking this way outside but in the end isn't that what is is?

Huh? And why are you responding to the same two sentences you already addressed in post 18?

I'll repeat the simple question I asked that went unanswered.

To this:
"...which moves nicely to E dorian over the Dmaj chord."
I asked:
"The melody can emphasize E's, but that doesn't change the mode, does it?"

No....
