But I guess we'll have to disagree.
As much fun as this verbal bantering is, I must get ready for a gig. ttfn

When you get to C over A, make it over A and C# and you get a 7#9

This scale works great for 7b5, #11, 13 , +/- plus diminshed , mi7b5. However it is also , as you correctly point out, only one tool in the box.
Sco' uses the sh^t out of this scale in places you wouldn't expect to sound out. Use it on a IV chord of a blues (I'm sure you knew that already though)

In regards to natural and symmetrical scales or pitch patterns with reference to western culture where music is based on the octave , which is a 2:1 ratio in frequency, and the commonly used scale has 12 logarithmically even diversions of the octave, such that the equation for the frequency (F) of each note is as follows: F= k x 2 (n/12), where n is the number of pitches along the scale and k is taken to be the reference point of the scale, usually 440 Hz.... not to be confused with the Bohlen-Pierce scale that has pitches recurring at the 3:1 ratio ( tritave) which would have the frequency of each tone in the scale expressed by the following formula: F = k x 3 (n/13)....

Yikes, Reg, what an edumacation you've got!

Hey BDLH... yea the only thing that saves me is I play lots of live jazz and drink lots of Guinness... I guess that's two things. Anyway that's what my Doctors tells me to do... do you need his #... Best Reg

Doctors are a sore point with me. Because I live in a small town, I'm always bumping into my doc, and he never fails to do a double-take like he can't believe that I'm still alive. I know you have hospital privileges Dr Rajabally! You'd know if I was on the slab!
