Instantly recognized and forever celebrated, My Favorite Things is a landmark
recording in every possible sense. The 1960 album is the first that introduced
John Coltrane's legendary quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis,
and drummer Elvin Jones. It is also the first on which he played soprano
saxophone. And it absolutely reimagined how a popular song (the smash title
track) could be interpreted and 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 and 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 and Eastern themes, advanced chord
structures and yet, recognizable shapes and 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 two
George Gershwin tunes and 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.
Mastered from the original master tapes, ORG Music's 180g 45RPM 2LP set
shines
new light onto this seminal music marvel. Hear Coltrane as he's meant to be
experienced. This edition of My Favorite Things is indeed bound to become on of
your very favorite things.
