jamesfrmphilly is an unknown quantity at this point
scales can be and should be music.

if you listen to Count Basie 'kansas city seven' on impulse label the intro that count makes on 'lady be good' is nothing but a scale.

many fantastic solos are made from simple structures that are played and placed in a MUSICAL context with feeling.

listen to 'Clifford Brown with strings' for playing the melody with feeling.
