The wealth of information in this book is organized geographically, introducing and explaining over 500 different scales and modes.

This compendium is an invaluable resource to everyone interested in the theory of the world’s music cultures, be it an individual musician, composer, arranger, musicologist, theorist, or jazz musician finding inspiration for the solos.
