简介：
Instantly recognized & forever celebrated, My Favorite Things is a landmark recording in every possible sense. The 1960 album is the 1st that introduced John Coltrane's legendary quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis, & drummer Elvin Jones. It is also the 1st on which he played soprano saxophone. It absolutely reimagined how a popular song (the smash title track) could be interpreted & spun into a completely new, absorbingly beautiful piece of art.
Initially, the idea behind My Favorite Things was to have Coltrane record a set of standards that would be welcomed by the populace & marketplace. The genesis was Coltrane's preceding The Avant-Garde album, which, true to its title, found the leader exploring angular works. However, Coltrane didn't settle for a typical approach here, as his radical redoing of the title track features a scalar technique, a hybrid of Western & Eastern themes, advanced chord structures & yet, recognizable shapes & controlled melodies throughout. It remains a marvel of modern music, its freshness immune to age.
The remainder of the album is equally splendid, with Coltrane riffing on 2 George Gershwin tunes & displaying a trademark coolness that defined his work for Atlantic. His mates are sympathetic to the cause, the band's chemistry simply superb. This is truly a record that no music lover should be without.
