What is modal jazz, and how did Coltrane contribute to it?

Modal jazz is a style of jazz that uses musical modes rather than chord progressions as the harmonic framework for improvisation. John Coltrane was instrumental in the development of modal jazz, particularly through his work on the album "Kind of Blue" with Miles Davis and his own compositions such as "Impressions" and "My Favorite Things," which employed modal structures.
