Bebop scale or not?

Yes--sadly he was an appalling human being.
But what a musician!
I'm dead against the scalic theory approach though
it gets people away from thinking melodically and motivically(as Getz and Django did)
If you listen to K Jarrett for example his harmonic/melodic approach is so sophisticated that many of his scalic ideas are unnameable in theory terms.
Even when Django played straight scales they were melodic--more a musical sequence of notes than ONE device as it were(even the famous glissandi)

nwilkins, yea, that makes sense. I couldn't figure out what he was talking about. Adding the natural 7th after the flat. Of course.
