C♯ Bebop Minor is a Dorian scale with a chromatic major third added between the minor third and the fourth, making eight notes. As with all bebop scales, that extra note is what keeps chord tones falling on strong beats in a running eighth-note line. Standard vocabulary over minor seventh chords in jazz.
