The Complete Thesaurus of Musical Scales

"Encourages the imaginative formation of scales that bridge between tonal and atonal music. In an attempt to focus attention on note combinations from 2 to 11 notes, the author uses the term 'subset' throughout the book instead of 'scales' ... [C]overs all theoretical possibilities in constructing scales, and the author stresses the importance for an improviser to understand all of the scalar possibilities and their applications. Take this thesaurus of musical scales seriously and you will not be disappointed in the options available for jazz improvisation"--Cover, p. [4] (from Jazz improvisation journal).
