John Coltrane - My Favorite Things

180-gram vinyl pressed by Pallas in Germany

Mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original analog tapes

1998 Grammy Hall of Fame inductee

"This 1960 recording was a landmark album in John Coltrane's career, the first to introduce his quartet with himself, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis and drummer Elvin Jones, and the first release on which he played soprano saxophone. It also provided him with a signature hit, as his new group conception came together wonderfully on the title track. It's an extended modal reworking in 6/4 time that brought the hypnotic pulsating quality of Indian music into jazz for the first time, with Coltrane's soprano wailing over the oscillating piano chords and pulsing drums. The unusual up-tempo version of Gershwin's 'Summertime'is a heated example of Coltrane's 'sheets of sound' approach to conventional changes, while 'But Not for Me' receives a radical harmonic makeover. This is an excellent introduction to Coltrane's work."  — All Music Guide

Interesting Re-Master posted on 04/21/2024 4 Stars Reviewer: Bob I received this record and Analog Productions Coltrane Prestige remaster in one order. The different between the mixes is striking. Bernie’s mix of MFTs is reserved but very very balanced. The Coltrane remaster is more musical and alive if not slightly bright. Both are enjoyable in different ways. Neither is taxing.

What high fidelity is all about posted on 10/17/2023 5 Stars Reviewer: William Taylor This is a marvelous album with outstanding 45 rpm sound quality. The soundstage is full, Coltrane's saxophone is crystal clear, and the bass is clean and full.

My favorite coltrane record in stunning quality posted on 07/09/2022 5 Stars Reviewer: Alex P Had to write my first review for this. I have bought plenty of 45 RPM records off acoustic sounds before and they have all sounded stunning. However, this record is on another planet of ethereal beauty. Quiet beautiful pressing that brings out the spellbinding dynamics in one of my favorite records of all time. Absolutely worth it
