C Mixolydian B6
C · D · E · F · G · A♭ · B♭
The fifth mode of melodic minor, C Mixolydian B6 is a Mixolydian scale with a flattened sixth — dominant in character but with a distinctly darker top end. It's the natural choice for a dominant chord resolving to a minor tonic, and it turns up in flamenco-tinged rock and film music as well as jazz.
