A Melodic Minor Scale notes: A B C D E F# G#. Formula: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7. Chords in this scale: Am, Bm, Caug, D, E, F#dim, G#dim.
Melodic minor (the jazz version, same going up and down) is a major scale with a flat third: 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7. It sounds smooth, modern and a little mysterious. Jazz players use it over minor chords with a major seventh, and its modes give two essential jazz sounds: Lydian dominant and the altered scale.
