D♯ Locrian Pentatonic
D♯ · F♯ · G♯ · A · C♯
Built from the root, minor third, fourth, flat fifth, and flat seventh, D♯ Locrian Pentatonic is a five-note scale that spells out a half-diminished chord. That makes it an efficient, uncluttered option over m7♭5 chords, where a full Locrian mode can sound cluttered. Straightforward jazz vocabulary once you're comfortable with half-diminished harmony.
