About the G# melodic minor scale

The melodic minor scale raises both the 6th and 7th degrees of the natural minor when ascending, smoothing out the awkward augmented second of the harmonic minor. In jazz, the ascending form is used both up and down. It is the parent scale for many important jazz modes and chord-scale relationships.
