In my opinion, what makes it special is that the player starts on a mode that is often associated with his instrument, but then suddenly switches to a very "western" mode now seen in contemporary jazz. He's saying, "I can do this too." In a similar fashion, Coltrane's recording starts with him playing in the style of the bebop that was established at his time, but as the track goes on, he switches into something akin of a Sufi/Dervish chant (I read this somewhere.)
