If you play jazz the modes become essential as a result of chord scale relationships. For example, the altered scale is the 7th mode of melodic minor. You hear jazz musicians use the altered scale all over the place.

I'm aware of the importance of the modes. What I was wondering was why you would want to practice them out of context (i.e. chord changes), which results in you doubling-up and practicing the same scale several times.

Buster, the third of the ii chord resolving to the root of the V chord isn't so bad, is it? It is a little bass-liney, but what the heck.
