My Favorite Things John Coltrane (b.1926, d.1967)

John William Coltrane was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. He led at
least fifty recording sessions and appeared on many albums by other musicians, including
trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk. He remains one of the most influential
saxophonists in music history. He has received many posthumous awards, including
canonization by African Orthodox Church and a Pulitzer Prize in 2007.
My Favorite Things is one of the tunes that was recorded for his seventh studio album
My Favorite Things (1961). The title track is a modal rendition of the Rodgers and
Hammerstein song “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music. The melody is heard
numerous times throughout, but instead of playing solos over the written chord changes, both
Tyner and Coltrane take extended solos over vamps of the two tonic chords.

the major jazz piano voices to emerged in the post-John Coltrane era. Today, Chick Corea
