The mode names apply to the major scales.... Phrygian is the mode that starts from the 3rd note of a major scale. In C Major, the E phrygian mode is: E-F-G-A-B-C-D. In Ab major, the C phrygian...
Jimmy Smith, And Christopher Parkening is "better" than Barney Kessell? Glen Gould is "better" than Keith Jarrett? - etc. Don't you see the nonsensical apples and oranges comparison you're making?...
