Monk, Barry Harris, the Harmonized Whole-Tone Scale in TRIADS

[bozobreak]

The minor six diminished scale, built by interleaving the notes of a minor 6 chord and a diminished 7 chord. For example, Cm6dim = C D Eb F G Ab A B
Used to improvise over tonic minor and to comp over F7 and B7alt.

Isn't Bb the last note?

[David B]

Isn't Bb the last note?

It's B, from the diminished chord that forms part of the C minor 6th diminished scale (D F Ab B). The only difference between the major and minor 6th diminished scales is one note, the third.
