Coltrane's stuff certainly doesn't do this. his later music is modal,
in that he uses a particular mode or scale which he then improvises
using all the notes in the particular mode (rather fast).

I don't agree with this, I think coletrane & coleman are probably
the best and most of what came after was poor imatation (with
exceptions of course).
And it's not the same as saying "Kraftwerk's probably the best..."
because electronic music was fairly new, whereas jazz had been established
for half a century.
