Yeah, the harmonic, melodic and natural minor scales….oh joy LOL I know with the harmonic minors you raise the 7th a 1/2 step and with the melodic you raise the 6th and the 7th a 1/2 step. Mr.Baker who I met with once a week before he moved to Florida would say that the problem he had with a harmonic minor as a band instructor is with the interval, it’s 3 half steps between the 6th and 7th–seldom did he like to work with those scales especially for singing because he said it just was too awkward for his taste. So he preferred melodic over harmonic minors. He had told me, when it comes to the Saxophone, you don’t deal with melodic or harmonic minors too often but I still needed to know how to play them.
I had read in your post about sharing Saxophone videos how you and your band used to play Deacon’s Hop and you would do the same thing like Big Jay did, walking around and “blowing your brains out” right in front of everyone! Have you thought about making Deacon’s Hop available to buy here in your growing Saxophone music selection? WOW that would be something! Or at the very least, to make a Song from Big Jay available. I like this one too:
