I am on my 10000th re-read of the Mark Levine Jazz Theory book. Each time i get a tiny bit further before my brain explodes 
The section on 2 -5-1 in a minor key, showing how the various chords are created from harmonic minor is very useful.
However, a 2 -5 -1 in a minor key is not derived entirely from modes of the tonic as per in a major key, but rather comes from 3 different scales. What I am struggling with is the Why this is so? Especially as there would be no "avoid" notes in a 2-5-1 that Was all from the same scale?
On the plus side, 496 pages to go!
