Well, in bebop(jazz subgenre) one could add one chromatic passing tone to 7 scale, and in doing so, it
produces an 8 tone scale which fits harmoniously with
the 4/4 measure. Another difference is Bebop requires
very fast tempos. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie are the
originators of Bebop. They turn this thing upside down.
Then Miles Davis took it from there.

Like you said, the 7th scale usually fits nicely to bebop tunes. The "blues" scale is another popular one, and the dorian scale fits a ii-V-I progression, which is popular in jazz. Dorian also fits some minor key jams. Learn many scales and your improvisations will flow more freely!

the 7th scale is really the mixolodian scale with an extra passing tone. The mixolodian scale is the same as the major scale only with a flatted 7th degree. The natural 7th is used as a passing tone in the bebop 7th scale. But the predominate sound is the flatted 7th. That's what gives it it's color. Usually played over dominate 7th chords.
