[@大内康隆]

この迫力あるパフォーマンス！今は70歳の隠居ですが高校時代にジャズ喫茶でアルバイトをしてアルテックA7の大口径スピーカーの迫力そのままで色褪せません。もちろんこのLPもたまに聞いています。魂の一曲です😂

[@からすカラス-v4f]

同曲のベスト演奏として名高いですね～☺️🎶🎷私は横浜に住んでますが同じ70歳ですが学生時代から横浜の老舗のジャズ喫茶に入り浸ってましたね～JBL の大スピーカー🔊で聴きたくてリクエストしたなぁ～😂大学が吉祥寺の方にあって東京のジャズ喫茶巡りも懐かしいですね～☺️🎷🎶

[@howlinhonky]

My wife has taught in China a few summers. One year on the 14 hour flight from Boston to Beijing I listened to about 15 Coltrane versions of "My Favorite Things" in a row.

[@buchi1000able]

I understand your feeling.

[@frothin]

Haynes is the man! Listen as he follows Tyner flawlessly

[@1722Msles]

This is the absolute best version of this song. It starts off running and continues to make your heart thump. Roy Haynes holds his own and Jimmy Garrison is also awesome. McCoy Tyner, what else can you say, he is the man!

[@alfredlsmithsr3491]

+Leslie Meeks Tyner has to have Tree hands on this do you hear him play

[@michaeleli6767]

Leslie Meeks absolutely agree

[@wasabi00maki]

Agreed!

[@markburrell8320]

I like Elvin‘s Style a lot more !

[@神戸勇太-v7f]

I think so too!!!!!

[@tonytony1035]

This is in 1963? Stunning. Far ahead of its time. Still ahead of its time today.

[@blipperUT]

I’ve been listening to this since I was in 10th grade, fifty years ago.

[@kt1880]

R. I. P. Mr. Roy Haynes.

[@curiousnomad]

This is the first jazz album I bought around age 14; it was $1 in the “cutout” bin at a mall. I had no idea who it was, but from beat one I was down for life. As a fledgling drummer I tried to follow what Roy was doing… not easy if you’re not familiar with the vocabulary. I still listen to it, as it’s a masterpiece. It has a profound depth and sadness IMO, even though it’s about positive things. When Trane enters after McCoy’s solo the feeling is just incredible.

[@EdwardYemilRosario]

Geeez... First Trane song I ever heard over 40 years ago. I still get goosebumps.

[@edwardcaldwell2887]

My favorite version of my favorite song. I still thank GOD that my dad took me to this festival and I was actually there when this was recorded. (EC)

[@bounderby99]

That’s incredible! That version of Impressions from there where Coltrane played for 16 minutes must’ve been even more nuts in person!

[@EdwardYemilRosario]

This was the first Coltrane song I ever heard. It changed my life. RIP McCoy Tyner

[@mierpaul]

I've been looking for this live version forever. I can now die in peace.

[@edhorn958]

I took clarinet lessons for 5 years as a child, and kind of understanding woodwind instruments, it is amazing beyond my words, to hear Coltrane manipulate that reed and fill that big tenor with so much air, powerful !

[@LeafGreen906]

he plays soprano on my favorite things

Rest In peace Roy.

[@RoyPortel]

The way John comes back in at 9:25 is pure genius!

[@wallyb55232]

Each chorus he keeps going out and he’s blowin his guts out - Coltrane!

[@vincentjones1668]

One of the most incredible pieces of music I have ever heard/or will ever hear....I love me some ELVIN Jones....but Roy Haynes got this.........

[@riotraficante7036]

This is my FAVORITE version of My Favorite Things, since the very first time to hear it in my 20ty something years old. I would play it over and over, I never get tired of it.

[@Jim-oe9pt]

McCoy Tyner's solo takes my breath away! One of the most inspired and beautiful things I've ever heard him play. I feel blessed to have heard this music! I hope everyone who hears this is as moved as I feel right now!

[@m.sodangi9977]

This is better than the original version. I love this!!!

[@Deayjay]

I actually heard this version prior to hearing the original hahaha! And like you I prefer this version!

[@eulissbenoit5968]

Greatest version of this song I believe

[@bill3837]

this is my favorite version

[@Deayjay]

Same here!!!

[@MrCaptainAhab]

This performance is the greatest one in jazz history.

[@perrinenzo607]

Best version ever

[@michaeljones474]

SAINT JOHN!

[@michaeljones474]

OHNADARUTH THE MYSTIC!

[@hirowakab1785]

RIP Roy Haynes.

[@bill3837]

the bass player is awesome too. I always loved this version

[@ホーリー大五郎]

This My Favorite Things is my favorite thing.

[@zakmal48]

I listened to this so many times in my hooch in Nakhon Phanom Thailand. I have heard anything come close to this since and that was in 1970. The whole album is pure FIYAH!

[@creex7118]

Incredible! An absolute masterpiece!

[@michaelbirnbaum3399]

Roy Haynes is so in tune with Trane and McCoy every second One of My favorite things

[@Deayjay]

Absolutely! Haynes brings his own character and approach to group and it works marvelously!

[@johnholloway2445]

what can anyone say too intense for words

[@benhardwick2893]

yes yes i lov dis version so much so good so great so my favorite thang so so

[@BOOOZB]

Finally ! At last , after years , I have found it . The most marvelous sample of M F T where Coltrane robs this aperture to the piano of Mac Coy , and preaches it to the face of the world of mortals . Around summer of 1974 , after listening to Bobby Few in the American center ( Bd Raspail) , I used to spend the night at the Rosebud untill the first sun Rays entered the street behind . The Rosebud , a Jazz café , Rue Delambre ,near Montparnasse, whose barman had an honorable Bourbon with a de luxe smell of wax , and was my good friend . All the night at this era , this Coltrane record was playing it non stop during the whole night . No one never dare complain ! Thanks , many many thanks for this souvenir . My liver ... and the Girl that was my only reason for a long life , both they took holydays then ,and I was not welcome to join them . So I staid with John for a while ..

[@denderaryuu99]

このバージョン探してました！ ありがとうございます！

[@60otaku4]

どういたしまして。 昔からこのバージョンをベストに挙げる方々が多いようです。 やはりロイヘインズの好演が大きいのでしょうね。

[@arthurgamez9436]

this has allways been one of my favorites by Coltrane😁👍

[@mukundamoon]

🌈That was so Awesome!

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

Thank you all for your music...!!!

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

I just freaking love this version

[@jackkrom]

This IS my favorite recording of Things. Tyner has a beautiful solo too. You should buy the vinyl!

[@bobgreen623]

+jackkrm Mine too jack, even though it's Roy Haynes rather than Elvin. Something about his skittering snare drum brings a new dimension, and both Trane and McCoy are inspired while Jimmy holds it together at the bottom with his huge sound.

[@alfredlsmithsr3491]

+Bobby G sho you are right

[@alfredlsmithsr3491]

+jackkrm Tyner played with THREE hands on this

[@bobgreen623]

+Alfred Smith I think it's only two hands, but he has eight fingers on each!

[@Nepenthean58]

They're all great. But I love the version from Live at the Half Note 1965.

[@dejondabeast2]

GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeremystein4534]

Trane's is the greatest recorded solo I know.

[@ytisis109]

my favorite Version

[@warrenevans8413]

The Greatest Recording Ever Put On Vinyl!!

[@davestahl6676]

"MY Favorite" version of this Coltrane classic...the whole thing is awesome, the last 4:30 where it goes major is a religious experience for me--and I'm an agnostic!

[@JS-dt1tn]

absolutely. The way McCoy flows into major is like a weight off your shoulders. True soul.

[@SandorVitez]

That's because your soul feels it, those of us who love music are often misunderstood anyway

[@BrucePhillips15]

Every time I listen to this song, I feel like McCoy is trying his best to make up for that wrong note he hit on the original studio release of "My Favorite Things"! This is such a beautiful take on the song. I love Roy Haynes' drumming on it.

[@sovereignviper]

This song was recommended to me by great jazz player and professor Salim Washington when I performed under his tutelage in the CUNY Brooklyn College Small Jazz Ensemble.

[@lenslemonbenzem6907]

dat iis i wes lukkin' for! i felt saudade this midnight

[@howlinhonky]

I wonder if Julie Andrews ever commented on Coltrane's versions of "My Favorite Things"

[@patrickmarcel7335]

c' est magnifique !

[@鈴菌修]

Roy Haynesのスネアの響きはなんていいんでしょう。

[@benkleschinsky]

Went to take a 30 second break, came back 20 minutes later.

[@fabioreoli6259]

Fantástico!

[@olavbe3134]

the genious of a good melody that has its background in singing - as do all the best melodies - and coltrane - who can ask for more, I believe in all religions he said once- that would have brought more piece to the world olav bøe norway

[@sovereignviper]

My favorite part of this song, for some reason: 6:12

[@maxmerry8470]

Yes, arguably the best version. Roy Haynes' drumming is immaculate here. Not the polyrhythmic powerhouse that was Elvin Jones but somehow lighter and yet no less forceful....

[@gibberconfirm166]

I remember it was 2001, worked in a record store. I was trying to get into jazz because I liked blues, and when they interpreted bluesy standards that had some existential yearning and sadness to them, and then I opened this one to check out a live version of MFT. Fucking brain meltdown. Coltrane was so far ahead of me it was flabbergasting. I just kept playing it over and over again. I played it for other people in disbelief: "do you hear what he's doing? I can't even believe this exists?" but nobody else really got it. "Hey Donnie, I think I found the meaning of life, here!"

[@maxmerry8470]

gibberconfirm, Yes, I played it to a friend who really isn't into jazz. He probably still isn't but he begged me for a tape of this remarkable performance. Tape? Pre-CDR days....

[@gibberconfirm166]

Yeah I don't even try to get people into Coltrane anymore, and the sad numbers on some of these KZbin tracks and Google Trends confirm it, but it's fun to talk to somebody else who might get it. This used to be the meaning of life to me.

[@AfMerikan01]

I was born in the right Age at the right time ...And,this is the only thing greater then my religion ..And,its my favorite thing. BondSt.Boo

[@johnholloway2445]

[@suzukin-jiji2206]

Roy Haynes!

[@j.m.v.1471]

Elvin Jones es mi baterista preferido. Sin embargo, hay que reconocer que el trabajo de Roy Haynes es formidable. ¡Vaya sustituto de lujo (Elvin estaba por entonces enla cárcel ...)! No os perdáis la sesión en estudio de este mismo grupo tocando Dear Old Stockholm. La coda de Trane es para descubrirse mil veces. Jazz lives!

[@bill3837]

roy hanes drums

[@eliasmihoub1996]

Is there anywhere we can found this song in FLAC ? It's beyond masterpiece !

[@charlesbarry2485]

This is different from the original. By this time John had embraced free jazz. Some free jazz elements are present here. Still an excellent performance.

[@tevinlong4888]

Cleanest and most. Profligated Don't know want, " Profligated" means. Shit rare level listening

[@clemensspark9689]

1963!

[@bin3703]

Roy Haynes ♥happy birthday. (*´∀`)♪💙

[@naopon8749]

どの音も、迷いなく出ていて、彼の奏でた他のどのMy Favorite Thingsよりも、彼の自信があふれているよ。

[@bankovicalexandre7221]

where is the bass in the mix ?

[@bill3837]

A beat to a different drum (Roy Haynes)

[@takaaqui213]

ロイ・ヘインズを再確認いたしました。　スゲー！

[@しかましげあき]

コルトレーンが演奏する同曲ではこのライブ演奏が一番ベストだと思いますね！

[@vincentjones1668]

I find myself amongst good company in saying this is my favorite version of MFT by Trane...although overall I much prefer Elvin Jones on drums Roy Haynes ain't missing shit right here!!! Music don't get no better than this.......

[@Deayjay]

I love Haynes on this version! This is also my favorite version of MFT! Cheers!!

[@agnldp]

I just discovered,n according to Wikipedia that McCoy Tyner just died a few days, 6. March 2020, RIP, wonderful pianist : fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCoy_Tyner

[@からすカラス-v4f]

同曲のベスト演奏だと思いますねぇ🎵🎷😅

[@bakhembrutalknowledge]

I was once asked what language does God speak...

[@cheriechierchie6253]

ecstasy for me Cherie Chierchie

[@perrinenzo607]

The Hendrix of saxo

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

That's how I have tried to explain him to people who were unfamiliar!

[@Sayeeda1]

Personally, I prefer Coltrane on soprano sax on this tune. But his tenor is fine too!

[@gibberconfirm166]

9:22 is when he sorts shit out.

[@jiyujizai]

😀💙🌸🌱

[@roberthanson579]

With so few listens and likes, it's apparent how heartless and ignorant people are.

[@the-LeoKnightus]

I love Trane's modal work in this one, just hate the drum mix with the snare so loud. Really takes from what Elvin adds to the sound. Can't hear his toms at all, bass is thumpy and cymbals have very little life. Oh well, guess I was born 20 years too late to be there.

[@digztytwo]

+Jay Toomuchhustle get over yourself and your petulant listening habits

[@digztytwo]

+Jay Toomuchhustle that was pathetic.

[@bill3837]

listen without headphones or use your mixer to eq .

[@JS-dt1tn]

its haynes. not elvin.
