The E♭ blues scale is a cornerstone of jazz, soul, and R&B. Alto and baritone saxophones are E♭ instruments, so this key sits in their most comfortable range. It takes the E♭ minor pentatonic and adds one chromatic passing tone — the flatted fifth — to produce the dark, expressive tension at the heart of the blues sound.
