New modal jazz releases: November 2 – 8, 2026

This week's modal jazz releases highlight archival discoveries and fresh reinterpretations, including newly issued recordings from John Coltrane's Tiberi Tapes and a reimagining of Miles Davis' 'Tutu' by Emma-Jean Thackray. Jim Hall's 'Concierto de Aranjuez' and the 50th-anniversary release of Davis' 'Water Babies' further underscore the genre's enduring legacy. Philippe Katerine's introspective work and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson's reprise of Coltrane's music offer contrasting yet complementary perspectives on the form's emotional depth.
