P.S. please don't tell me it's called "Steve Reich's 'Piano Phase' scale" 😅

There are other instances of this pentatonic scale in the discography of Miles's electric years, listen for example to "Right Off (Take 10)" around 3:40

in the key of B-flat, descending:
sol, fa, do, si, la, fa, si si ...

is there discourse on this? had you noticed too?

hey Dr. @ethanhein.bsky.social while i have your attention: what is this scale called? where does it come from? D E A B C

as i the IASW melody i solmized
do-si-do-si-la-mi-ré

it's rather unusual (no 3rd no 4th) yet sounds very deliberate (as everything Miles plays)

"do, si do, si la, la ...
do si do si la mi ré ré ...
si ré, ré ré ré, do ...
do si do si la ré ré ré, ré ...
fa#, fa♮, fa# ...
fa# fa♮ fa#, fa♮ fa# mi ré ... " 💙

also the tracklist reads like a poem

Shhh
Peaceful
In A Silent Way
It's About That Time
