JOHN COLTRANE 'My Favourite Things' LP

My Favorite Things by John Coltrane, released in 1961, marked a major turning point in Coltrane’s career and jazz itself. It was his first album playing soprano saxophone—an instrument he would help popularize in modern jazz. The title track, a modal reimagining of the Rodgers and Hammerstein tune, became an unexpected hit and one of Coltrane’s most iconic performances. The quartet—featuring McCoy Tyner on piano, Elvin Jones on drums, and Steve Davis on bass—delivered a hypnotic blend of lyrical improvisation, rhythmic drive, and harmonic minimalism.
