THE BEBOP SCALES:⠀
C△ (NOTES: C E G B) with C Bebop Major (NOTES: C D E F G Ⓖ♯ A B C) ⠀
C7 (NOTES: C E G B♭) with Bebop Dominant (NOTES: C D E F G A B♭Ⓑ C) ⠀
C-7 (NOTES: C E♭ G B♭) with C Bebop Minor (NOTES: C D E♭Ⓔ F G A B♭ C) ⠀
CØ (NOTES: C E♭ G♭ B♭) with C Bebop Half-Diminished (NOTES: C D♭ E♭ F G♭Ⓖ A♭ B♭ C) ⠀

The circled note is like a ‘rhythmic correction’ ~ a chromaticism to ensure that the chord notes fall on the strong beats of the bar (the downbeats).⠀
In each case the circled note falls on an ‘And’ (+) ie between the beats (the upbeats).⠀

The scale can be started ascending or descending on any of the notes that fall on the beat (ie the downbeat) ~ but the circled notes must always fall between the beats (ie on the upbeats).⠀

△ means major 7th, -7 means minor 7th, Ø means half-diminished aka -7♭5⠀

For more information check out the book ‘Bebop Scales’ by Joe Riposo.⠀

SCALE/CHORD CHOICES: C7 (NOTES: C E G B♭) with C bebop dominant scale (NOTES: C D E F G A B♭ B C). The B♮ between the ♭7th (B♭) and the root © is a chromatic adjustment note to keep the chordal notes in the scale on the strong beats of the bar. The C7 resolves to an F major chord at the end of the phrase. #grantgreen #davebrubeck #halfstep #wholestep #interval #tone #eartraining #phrase #phrasing #bennygoodman #freddiehubbard #elvinjones #blues #pentatonic #jazz #music #askmeanything #natural #quaver #minim #wholenote #ionian #dorian #phrygian #lydian #mixolydian #aeolian #locrian #melodic #melody (at Mallacoota, Victoria)
