The harmonic minor scale raises the 7th of the natural minor scale. Jazz players use it over a minor tonic, and its 5th mode, Phrygian Dominant, is the classic sound of the V7b9 in a minor key.
Its modes play the same notes from another degree: E# Locrian #6 from the 2nd, F# Ionian #5 from the 3rd, G# Dorian #4 from the 4th, A# Phrygian Dominant from the 5th, B Lydian #2 from the 6th and C## Altered Diminished from the 7th.
