The scale on C (Vargyas' melodious minor) is of course what we would recognise as the ascending part of the melodic minor scale.

Jazz musicians use the scale as minor-major, for playing over a minor chord with a major 7th (C Eb G B). The scale using the same notes but starting on G, the 5th mode of the ascending melodic minor, is (according to Levine's Jazz Theory) mainly used over that same CmMaj7 chord with G in the bass. Not relevant here, but interesting.
