On this day in 1969, Miles Davis started recording "Bitches Brew"

This wasn't just an album; it was a revolution. Jazz went electric, and the world hasn't been the same since...

A thread🧵 Image
Miles brought together a stellar ensemble: Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinul, Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, and more.

The sessions were loose, experimental, and raw—Miles gave minimal direction, letting the musicians’ creativity run wild. Image
The result? A double album that defied convention.

Tracks like "Pharaoh’s Dance" and "Bitches Brew" were sprawling, hypnotic, and unlike anything jazz fans had heard before.

It was bold, chaotic, and utterly mesmerizing Image

Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life isn’t just an album—it’s a miracle…

It’s the kind of project that defies logic, time, and human limitation…

Here’s why:

🧵 Image
Stevie almost quit music entirely before making it. He was seriously considering moving to Ghana and leaving the industry behind.
He survived a near-fatal car accident just two years before the album dropped. He was in a coma for 10 days.

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
