If you’ve heard names like Miles Davis or John Coltrane, chances are you’ve heard modal jazz.

But what does “modal” really mean — and why did it change jazz forever?

Let’s break it down with 10 essential albums:

A thread🧵Image
What came before: Bebop & Hard Bop

Before modal jazz, bebop and hard bop dominated.
Fast tempos. Dense chord changes.
Improvising meant “navigating” rapid-fire harmony.

It was thrilling — but also restrictive. Image
What is a mode, anyway?

Modes are scales — like the major scale, but with different flavors.

The Dorian mode, for example, sounds more minor and mysterious.
The Lydian mode is dreamy and open.

Modal jazz builds entire songs around one of these scales — instead of cycling through dozens of chords.Image

No jazz musician evolved more dramatically — or spiritually — than John Coltrane.

He began as a sideman with a drug habit and ended as a spiritual beacon who turned music into prayer.

Here’s how Coltrane transformed jazz in a single lifetime:

A thread🧵Image
1. Miles Davis – ‘Round About Midnight (1957)

Coltrane’s early rise came as part of Miles Davis’ first great quintet. He was raw but intense — still searching for his voice.
Miles called him “the start of something different.” Image
2. Blue Train (1957)

Coltrane’s only Blue Note album — and a hard bop classic.
He’s still rooted in tradition here, but listen closely: his solos stretch, burn, and hint at what’s to come. Image

Happy birthday to the legendary Stevie Wonder!

Today, we celebrate a musical genius whose soulful voice, innovative sound, and timeless hits have shaped music for decades. From Motown prodigy to global icon, Stevie’s legacy is unmatched…

A thread🧵
Stevie’s genius started young. Signed to Motown at 11, he was a blind prodigy mastering piano, drums, and harmonica. By his teens, he was writing hits like “Fingertips.” His talent was unstoppable, defying all odds. Image
Talking Book (1972) changed the game. With hits like “Superstition” and “You Are the Sunshine of My Life,” Stevie blended funk, soul, and pop. That clavinet riff in “Superstition”? Iconic. He played almost every instrument himself! Image

Here are 20 essential albums to get you started:

A thread🧵 Image
Horace Silver – Song for My Father (1965)

Catchy melodies, soulful grooves. The title track is iconic and shows how Silver blended hard bop with Latin influences. Image
Miles Davis – Walkin’ (1954)

Hard Bop's ignition point. Davis’ stripped-down, bluesy approach on this session helped spark the style’s rise. Image
