In the world of jazz, there are a few names synonymous with the genre itself. Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk among others. And of course, how can you forget John Coltrane.
Coltrane was an amazing saxophonist and an improv master. He had the uncanny ability to play with the music with a devil may care style with surprising results.
He also did My Favorite Things from the movie The Sound of Music which only help cement the song's status as one of the classics. The album version of the song stretches to the 13 minutes, but you don't get the feeling of being too tired when listening to it (unlike songs from Miles Davis' Bitches Brew).
It certainly is one of those songs that you've got to hear at least once in your life. Don't miss out on this.
Song rating: *****
