LP Record My Favourite Things is a key element of Coltrane's discography. He already had several recordings for Atlantic Records under his belt, but these were made with hired musicians and presented 'Trane' within the accepted hard bop genre, although he was making great strides in his playing and harmonic exploration. Here, however, he recorded the first album with his new musicians, McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones (Steve Davis, although perfectly capable, was just the first in a line of bassists Coltrane worked his way through before meeting Jimmy Garrison). The music created for this album at the end of 1960 was fundamentally different from what had come before, as Coltrane forged his own path, moving on from his last collaborator, Miles Davis.
