I love how valse 8 is just a slower amalgamation of all of the previous 7 valses. It’s like Ravel is saying: “Alright kids. Let’s review everything that we’ve learned today.” *plays piano slowly and carefully* Either that or he just knew someone would try to write a medley of all of his valses after his death and he said, “No. F*** that! I’m going to write MY OWN medley for these valses! Let’s call it...valse 8!”

The b9 is only allowed in dominant 7th chords and not in minor 7th or major 7th chords, though that rule is often broken with the minor type chords. Major 7b9 is a weird one because it does not belong to a diatonic mode nor any of the conventional modes.

It's not even the first time Ravel used such harmonies in one of his compositions. Notably in Ondine, the first movement of Gaspard de la Nuit there's a section that is pretty much coltrane changes but minor. It's not really a secret that many jazz musicians loved the works of Ravel, Debussy, Satie, Scriabin, ect... so it should be no surprise that such similarities can be found.

Very well played- a very competitive field; audiences perhaps of the "On the go" types, the tempos, many customarily too fast. Keeping in mind, this is very much music of Hesperethusa, or Iduna. Like certain musicians, Ravel actually achieved the level of Saint- of Hesperethusa, the most profound goddess. Noble Frankish were never very fond of dancing... Music then, like some water brought from The Well At The World's End...
