MY FAVORITE THINGS (180G)

'''My Favorite Things'''' is a key item in Coltrane''''s discography. He had already recorded some sides for Atlantic
Records but these had been made with pick-up groups and showed '''Trane'''' very much in the accepted hard bop idiom,
albeit making grand strides forward with his playing and harmonic searching. Here though, was the first album
recorded with his new working outfit with McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones (Steve Davis, although perfectly capable
was merely the first in a line of bassists Coltrane worked his way through before settling on Jimmy Garrison). The
music created for this album in late 1960 differed radically from what had preceded it as Coltrane forged his own
pioneering path drawing on the modal experiments he''''d been involved in with his final leader, Miles Davis.
