Modes arranged in a musical sequence

So....

Getting back to the original topic,

I actually use the V mode (G+ [or Gb13 as labeled] of Melodic Minor a lot, like a lot! yet it says "rarely played" on the sheet. To me, that V mode is the Shiz-Nitz of the minor sound. Love it.

The book is dated.

The book is dated.

When will "Jazz Music : The up-to-date Gospel Truth according to Ragman" finally be published?

If harmony was really that complicated I doubt many of us would be here. I'm serious. Of course the book's presentation is dated, it's from 1989. That's 35 years ago.

But you're welcome to study it all you want. Good luck :-)

Im told by some..that LSD and other psychedelics open doors to seeing the merging of everything into "the ONE"

Hindu and Buddhist art -mandalas-are visual guides into a meditative state to produce such an effect.

Coltrane began to play with these concepts..Giant Steps could be seen as the merging of many keys in one composition.
Miles..Shorter and many other jazz innovators have gone way beyond diatonic norms and created compositions that
drive theory advocates into fits.

Early and contemporary modern art shows this in many forms Dali..Pollock..MC Escher and many others merge many forms and images and colors
into one piece that infer multi perspectives of a theme.

In many posts on this forum..over and over again we discover that harmony is NOT rigid and IS flexible .. a chord can be in several keys at once and
can imply its function as well. Playing scales that are not related to the chord in any prescribed theoretical way work for many
exploring the outer reaches of harmonic/melodic bounds.

With the advancements in electronics in music I hear new forms of harmonic exploration that are just being born.

Remember..there was a time when the flat fifth was a creature from hell.

Is there any wonder the most creative musical minds express this reasoning in their work?
