John Coltrane My Favorite Things

Saxophonist John Coltrane revolutionised jazz in 1961 with his long, playful and endlessly inventive take on Rodgers and Hammerstein's "My Favorite Things". Coltrane's soprano transforms this musical-theatre chestnut into arguably the most seductive track of experimental jazz ever recorded. An upbeat version of the Gershwins' "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess is the other highlight from this 1961 standards fest that finds Coltrane and the rest of his quartet—McCoy Tyner (piano), Elvin Jones (drums) and Steve Davis (bass)—in sterling form.
