Blues
The section on "Jazz and blues" states that a piano can't play "blue notes," which are described as microtonal; yet the example "blues scale" is played on a piano. This needs to be clarified by someone who knows more about it than I do. My suspicion is that "blue notes" and "blues scale" are not at all the same thing, albeit related, but if so this section needs to address the concept of "blues scale" at least slightly. Furthermore, the hatlinked article covers many more scales than just the blues scale; maybe a few sentences describing what's in that article might help. The "jazz scales" article uses the phrase "blue notes" only to refer to chromatically-altered notes as shown in the example, not microtones. The article Blues scale seems to indicate that "blue notes" is a contested term in this regard. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 16:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
