about

Dmin7b5 - Galt - Csusb9 - Dbmaj#11
I never really grasped the minor ii-V-i until I started reading Mark Levine’s “The Jazz Theory Book.” He mentions that the minor ii-V-i can broken into three separate melodic minor scales. In this song, the ii-V-i is in C minor. The ii, being Dmin7b5 is from F melodic minor; the V, being Galt, is from Ab melodic minor. Therefore, I repeated the line I played over Dmin7b5 a minor third up over the Galt. This gave some parallelism, while being my first successful attempt at writing over a minor ii-V-i. Upon returning to the i, instead of playing a minor-major chord, I modulated to a C Phrygian chord, and proceeded to play diatonically, going back forth with a Db Lydian chord. Now that I think of it, the C and Db create a chromatic bassline for when I return to the Dmin7b5 for the next ii-V-i.
