2014 EU reissue on 180g LP+download -One of Coltrane’s best-known records. Pure Serenity: 1960 Masterpiece Finds Coltrane Reworking Pop Standards. Features the Saxophonist's Legendary Quartet. It remains a marvel of modern music, its freshness immune to age.

Instantly recognized and forever celebrated, My Favorite Things is a landmark recording in every possible sense. The 1960 album is the first that introduced John Coltrane's legendary quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones. It is also the first on which he played soprano saxophone. And it absolutely reimagined how a popular song (the smash title track) could be interpreted and spun into a completely new, absorbingly beautiful piece of art.

Initially, the idea behind My Favorite Things was to have Coltrane record a set of standards that would be welcomed by the populace and marketplace. The genesis was Coltrane's preceding The Avant-Garde album, which, true to its title, found the leader exploring angular works. However, Coltrane didn't settle for a typical approach here, as his radical redoing of the title track features a scalar technique, a hybrid of Western and Eastern themes, advanced chord structures and yet, recognizable shapes and controlled melodies throughout. It remains a marvel of modern music, its freshness immune to age.

The remainder of the album is equally splendid, with Coltrane riffing on two George Gershwin tunes and displaying a trademark coolness that defined his work for Atlantic. His mates are sympathetic to the cause, the band's chemistry simply superb. This is truly a record that no music lover should be without.

Original Down Beat Review:
"This is collection is nothing short of magnificent. These four assured and powerful tracks are the statements of a mature (and major) stylist who has evolved a cogent and gripping approach of real individuality. There are no loose ends here; all the disparate elements of his stle have fallen into place for Coltrane, and a synthesis has been effected" (Pete Welding)

The 101 Best Jazz Albums:
"During 1960 two fortuitous events combine to launch Coltrane's career commercially. One was introcuction to the Rodgers and Hammerstein show tune" My Favorite Things', which a customer had brought into the Jazz Gallery in sheet-music form, thinking John mihgt like it. Second, by fluke he discoverred the soprano sax, and intrument Coltrane would soon make extremely popular."
