B C Eb E F# G A B

Anyone know what that is? Almost reminds me of the harmonic minor scale.

That's becuase it is...
E harmonic minor's fifth mode.
Also the Eb actually would be D#.

The names matter rather little...it's the usage that's important.
In other words your ears already told you what you needed to know. So the name really was merely for curiosity.
