E Melodic Minor
E · F♯ · G · A · B · C♯ · D♯
E Melodic Minor raises both the sixth and seventh of the natural minor, so it's a major scale with a flattened third and nothing else changed. That combination of a minor tonic with a leading tone makes it sound sophisticated rather than sad, and its seven modes supply most of modern jazz harmony. Classical players traditionally use it ascending only.
