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.

D Lydian #2 is the 6th mode of the F# Harmonic Minor Scale: its notes, F# G# A B C# D E#, played from D.
