4 Things to Know About Coltrane's Sound and My Favorite Things

Coltrane’s Sound was recorded during the same sessions as My Favorite Things. Both albums come from the same recording period, sharing the exact same quartet lineup.

The quartet includes John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, McCoy Tyner on piano, Steve Davis on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums. This is the same group that played on My Favorite Things, making Coltrane’s Sound a direct companion piece.

Steve Davis played bass on these sessions, not Jimmy Garrison. Garrison joined Coltrane’s group later, so Davis is the bassist on both albums.

The albums showcase the quartet’s chemistry at a pivotal moment. Coltrane’s Sound captures the same tight interplay and exploratory energy heard on My Favorite Things.
