Talk:Jazz minor scale

The snippet "A♭ jazz minor scale over G7 resolving to C" contains a d-natural which is not included in Ab-melodic-minor resp. G altered. Should probably be d-flat.

It is not only a jazz scale. A prominent and masterful example in baroque music is the first duet in e-minor from "Clavierübung III Theil" by J.S.Bach, BWV802. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.223.254.115 (talk) 20:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Rename?
This article currently reads like a classical theorist trying to explain jazz to an audience of classical musicians, even though the article is ostensibly about jazz. I don't know any jazz musician who calls the melodic minor scale the "jazz minor". It's the melodic minor. Should the asymmetric melodic minor be called the "classical minor"? Moving to "Melodic minor scale (Jazz)" might be a less provocative way of resolving the difference in terminology. Or "Melodic minor ascending scale" would be even more neutral. Or really any title that starts with the words "Melodic minor". Alextgordon (talk) 08:13, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree completely. Seeing as there is apparently no source for the name I wouldn't be surprised if whoever created this article just made up the name "jazz minor". I have never heard this term used and pretty much every other source I can find online refers to the melodic minor scale. Ambidextroid (talk) 17:44, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
