My Favorite Things (March 1961), anchored by the Rodgers and Hammerstein show tune of the same name, would become one of John Coltrane's most commercially successful releases and the first album of his career to feature the talented musician and composer playing the soprano sax on record. The album marked a major turning point for Coltrane, featuring a modal approach that opened new harmonic and emotional space in his music. His hypnotic interpretation of the title track became an unexpected hit, while standards like "Summertime" and "Every Time We Say Goodbye" showcased the expressive depth of his new quartet.

Celebrating its 65th Anniversary in 2026, this new mono recording of My Favorite Things is a breakout LP from the Rhino High-Fidelity box set titled John Coltrane: 1960-1964. All lacquers are AAA cut directly from the mono tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram vinyl by Optimal, with meticulous detailing on the packaging that includes glossy covers and "tip-on" jackets.
