Modal

Modal is a musical style that developed during the 1950s and 1960s, primarily in jazz music. It is characterized by its reliance on modal scales and chords, which are often built around a single tonal center. This musical style is based on a series of scales and chords that emphasize certain notes, and also often has a relaxed, improvisatory feel. Modal music is most often associated with jazz, but it has been used in a variety of genres including classical, pop, and rock music. Its influence is still seen today in many genres.
