John Coltrane’s landmark 1961 jazz album My Favorite Things was born of the same recording sessions that yielded a majority of the albums Coltrane Plays the Blues (1962), Coltrane’s Sound (1964), and Coltrane Legacy. That My Favorite Things was recorded in less than three days was in itself, remarkable.

This record marked a significant turning point in Coltrane’s career and showcased his distinctive playing style, which continues to inspire and influence musicians to this day. Coltrane’s playing on My Favorite Things can be described as innovative, exploratory, and deeply emotive. The unforced, practically casual soloing styles of the assembled quartet which includes Coltrane (soprano/tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Steve Davis (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums) allow for tastefully executed passages la the Miles Davis Quintet, a trait Coltrane no doubt honed during his tenure in that band, notes AllMusic.
