My Favorite Things / Africa/brass - Coltrane, John - LP - Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Pairing 'My Favorite Things' with 'Africa/Brass' is like opening a window onto the moment John Coltrane redrew the boundaries of jazz. 'My Favorite Things' transforms a familiar Broadway tune into a swirling modal meditation, with Coltrane’s soprano saxophone soaring above McCoy Tyner’s hypnotic piano. This was the album that made Coltrane a household name, yet it still sounds radical, alive, and utterly personal decades later. 'Africa/Brass,' meanwhile, is Coltrane’s first big-band project—a bold, lush, and spiritual statement that channels African rhythms and deep, resonant brass harmonies. The album’s sheer scale and ambition are breathtaking, as Coltrane leads a large ensemble into uncharted territory, pointing toward his later, more spiritual explorations. These two albums, presented together, trace Coltrane’s leap from innovative interpreter to fearless visionary. For collectors, this release captures the turning point in jazz history, where technical mastery meets restless invention. The sound is immersive, the performances legendary, and the significance impossible to overstate. If you want to own the moment jazz found new wings, this is an essential addition to your shelf.
