Can a real scale have a three semitone jump in it? that b3 to #4 is a minor third. I vote for the Arabian scale.
It's very close to an Arabian scale...
1,2,b3,4,#4,#5,6,7

it's useful wherever you make it useful! what kind of question is that? hahaha...
been reading persichetti's book 'twentieth century harmony'. has a great chapter on scales that is very freeing.
I meant that I don't see an obvious chord for which it is an appropriate choice as a scale for soloing. Compositionally, of course, all bets are off.
Thanks for the Persichetti reference! I'll get that from my library.
I suppose you could use the second mode over altered dominants...
Yeah, that persichetti book is really great. It's not a jazz book but I see no reason why these ideas can't be applied in the jazz context (and probably already are...).
Cheers!

I'm sure every configuration of western tones has been named something. Does anyone know this one (similar to hungarian minor)?
1,2,b3,#4,#5,6,7
Thanks,

It's a mode of Romanian Major
Jeth's mode.
Petrushka chord with an extra piece of chicken maybe. . . That's probably the meat of it functionally, huh? Triads a tri-tone apart, right?
Actually, I was wrong about it being Jeth's mode starting on the 3rd scale degree. I'm not sure I see them being the same collection of notes.

You're scale is 2 1 3 2 1 2 1, correct?
Jeth's, 1 3 2 1 2 1 2?
I'm haven't seen that scale notation. How does it work?
My scale as compared to a major scale is 1 2 b3 #4 #5 6 7 or using set notation 0, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 11. Thanks!

Semi tones. From your 1 to 2 would be my first "2", then from your 2 to b3 would be "1", from your b3 to #4 would be "3" etc.
Distance in semi-tones, right?
think kimock's onto something.... if the scale is in C then it contains DF#A and AbCEb , throw in the B and voila. Those darn triad pairs sneak in again , and the classic triads @ tritone too!!
