Modal jazz, as introduced on Miles Davis's 'Kind of Blue,' differs from bebop primarily in how it treats harmony. Which description best captures that difference?
It eliminates harmony entirely, giving soloists no tonal reference point
It replaces rapid chord changes with sustained scales, slowing the harmonic rhythm and widening the space for improvisation
It borrows chord progressions from classical music rather than the Great American Songbook
It restricts soloists to a single key for the entire performance, removing the need for ear training
