My Favorite Things was one of John Coltrane’s bestselling LPs ever. This landmark jazz date made in 1960 was recorded in less than three days, during several marathon sessions that produced still more music that would later be issued on subsequent albums: Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane’s Sound, and Coltrane Legacy. “My Favorite Things”, the title tune, belongs to Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein II’s play The Sound of Music. The original stage production of The Sound of Music opened on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontane Theatre on November 16, 1959. Prior to Coltrane’s reading the song had already been recorded in a jazz setting by Benny Goodman. However, it was Coltrane who brought “My Favorite Things” to the attention of the jazz world with the version contained here.
