Nice playing Kirk.

Thing is I come from a Scaler point of view, but I am not constrained by the Scale I 'think' I am in.

I would say of the Jazz piece specifically, that what you employ is just called passing notes.

You don't need to write a mode or a scale to fit exactly what you are playing, that includes every note. You are probably playing in a simple Mode or Scale, but employing passing notes judiciously.

Chords are boss, but whether Scales and Modes are irrelevent in deeper music is highly questionable.
