The title track is historically significant as the first instance of Davis basing a theme and subsequent improvising around modal scales instead of the usual major and minor, starting him along a path that would eventually lead him to the aforementioned Kind of Blue, and Coltrane on the path to A Love Supreme, setting the basis for modern jazz.
