The complete album + 1 bonus track - limited edition pressing on 180g crystal clear vinyl. My Favorite Things is one of John Coltrane's all time bestselling LPs. Recorded in 1960 for Atlantic Records during three marathon sessions that also produced enough music for four subsequent albums: Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy.
The LP's title tune belongs to the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music, which at the time, might have seemed an odd choice by critics and fans. However, in Coltrane's hand the tune is spun out with an Eastern sound, a waltz reminiscent of a dervish dance, hypnotic and totally engaging. An edited version of the track was issued as a single and gained popularity across US radio stations, resulting in the LP becoming a major commercial success.
My Favorite Things features John Coltrane's first recorded performance on soprano saxophone - an instrument gifted to him by Miles Davis.
