My Favorite Things

[NNadir]

3. Was cruising through my journal looking for a reference and came across this "highjack." I agree.

"Kind of Blue" is the best jazz album of all time, but for me, not the greatest of Coltrane as an individual.

I still remember the first time I heard Coltrane's "My Favorite Things." I was in my early twenties, in a bad way spiritually and emotionally, and well, it changed everything in my life, just hearing that. A few minutes after "My Favorite Things" came "Alabama."

It was in a compilation, "His Greatest Years."

Like I say, that music changed my life.

This is nice work here that McLaughlin does, playing with the young folks, passing it on. It's not the greatest McLaughlin ever, but I appreciate the tribute to 'Trane. The kid on the piano does a nice McCoy Tyner evocation.
