My Favorite Things
My Favorite Things is the 7th album by jazz musician John Coltrane, released in 1961 on Atlantic Records, catalogue SD-1361. It was the 1st album to feature Coltrane playing soprano saxophone, & yielded a commercial breakthrough in the form of a hit single that gained popularity in 1961 on radio, an edited version of the title song, “My Favorite Things.” In 1998, the album was a recipient of the Grammy Hall of Fame award.
In March 1960, while on tour in Europe, Miles Davis purchased a soprano saxophone for Coltrane. The instrument had become little used in jazz at that time. Intrigued by its capabilities, Coltrane began playing it at his summer club dates. He would continue to use the soprano sax in the future. After leaving the Davis band, for his 1st regular bookings at New York’s Jazz Gallery in the summer of 1960 Coltrane assembled the 1st version of John Coltrane Quartet, Sessions the week before Halloween at Atlantic Studios yielded the track “Village Blues” for Coltrane Jazz & the entirety of this album, along with the tracks that Atlantic would later assemble into Coltrane Plays the Blues & Coltrane’s Sound.

Released a mere month after Coltrane Jazz, unlike his 1st 2 albums for Atlantic, this 1 contains no original compositions, instead jazz versions of 4 pop standards. The album was also the 1st to quite clearly mark Coltrane’s change from bebop to modal jazz, which was slowly becoming apparent in some of his previous releases. The famous track is a modal rendition of the Rodgers & Hammerstein song “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. The melody is heard numerous times throughout, but instead of playing solos over the written chord changes, both Tyner & Coltrane take extended solos over vamps of the 2 tonic chords, E minor & E major, played in waltz time. In the documentary The World According to John Coltrane, narrator Ed Wheeler remarks on the impact that this song’s popularity had on Coltrane’s career:
“In 1960, Coltrane left Miles [Davis] & formed his own quartet to further explore modal playing, freer directions, & a growing Indian influence. They transformed “My Favorite Things”, the cheerful populist song from ‘The Sound of Music,’ into a hypnotic eastern dervish dance. The recording was a hit & became Coltrane’s most requested tune—& a bridge to broad public acceptance.”
The standard “Summertime” is notable for its upbeat, searching feel, a demonstration of Coltrane’s “sheets of sound,” a stark antithesis to Miles Davis’ melancholy, lyrical version on Porgy & Bess, & makes use of offbeat pedal points & augmented chords. “But Not For Me” is reharmonised using the famous Coltrane changes, & features an extended coda over a repeated ii-V-I-vi progression.
