This is not only the greatest soprano solo , but probably the greatest sax solo I've ever heard ! Nobody comes close to Coltrane on tenor or soprano . He sounds like he has found total freedom to take it wherever he wants . Technical ability aside , he always plays from the soul and explores the spiritual realm .

this recording almost makes me cry with the way coltrane is able to so elegantly express emotion. I think he will forever be in my mind the greatest saxophonist of all time

G-R-E-A-T indeed! Real, real good! I love it! Reminds me of my wonderful DAD! Jacquelyn from Philadelphia (Philly baby!)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊 EXCELLENT with a capital E!!!!!!!

Roy Haynes on drums...He's still bringing it in 2022 at 97 years young!

They have this version in Coltrane's collection on the Emirates planes, and everytime I'm on a 10+ hour flight with them I play this on repeat for at least 3 hours of my trip!

This is the Main Sound! The sound that puts the Sun in its place! It’s the sound of the Universe exploding with joy and clarity!

Hands down the best version of this song. Everything is perfect about it.

definitive version

I'm not counting, but it's possible that I've listened to this a hundred times, and I appreciate it more each time. Miracle #1 is that he isn't even playing his "usual" instrument, but playing soprano sax. The only other supreme master of the soprano that I know of is Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) who (along with Louis Armstrong) began the long and glorious tradition of the jazz soloist. Bechet was brilliant, but Coltrane takes this instrument to places it's never gone, before or since. Miracle #2 In parts of this he sounds like he is playing two instruments at once, moving (seemingly) effortlessly between octaves. These passages remind me of Rahsaan Roland Kirk playing two and even three horns at once and making it sound great, like a tight 2 or 3-man horn section. Coltrane is creating this effect with one instrument. Miracle #3 The sheer amount of breath and breath control that this requires is staggering to behold. This also reminds me of Rahsaan and his utter mastery of circular breathing, as well as playing with immense power. Both played with a profound depth of soul. Miracle #4 The incredible quality of the sound recording, being able to hear everything Roy Haynes and Jimmy Garrison are doing, and getting most of the subtleties of McCoy Tyner's playing. I can't hear any distortion when John is playing so intensely that you'd think the mic might fail. We owe a debt of gratitude to the person who captured this, hopefully for all time, since this is one of the greatest artistic musical performances of all time. Miracle#5 The transcendent beauty and creativity of the playing all through the piece, but especially as things wrap up from 16:20ish to the end. Miracle #6 This piece is beyond music and is in the realm of healing. Miracle #7 That this was 1963 and a version of this was actually a "hit" which gave John a measure of success, which allowed him to explore ever higher planes of free expression in the following years. PS I wonder how many in the audience had any idea how great this performance was and is, and I wonder how many other great performances John gave that were not recorded.

Sometimes when I need to cry and I can't I put this on... Thanks John

To me, that seems to be his most iconic version ever.

Recorded over 50 years ago but just as relevant today !!!

will never be eclipsed, the best of the timeless and pure artistry, the being reborn in truth and love

I had the pleasure of attending this festival and without a doubt this performance was a classic for all time. When we land on another planet we need to take this recording with us as a gesture of good will . Any being will understand.

Once again we have this really total vibration from the whole Quartet! Praise the Lord and this entire quartet!

Every time I listen to this, I have a new perception of what music can be.

Just the greatest.

Transcendent!!💜🌄🌠🙏🏾 Absolutely one of the greatest live musical performances ever done!!! This piece can heal you if your ready and desire it of the modern day blues that afflict so many souls today!!!! Try it and feel better💜🌞

It is a wonderful performance and it is a performance of selflessness that can not be compared with other Mr Coltrane is forever

Sounds like he's having sooo much fun!!!

Mr. Roy Haynes!

Absolutely the best Coltrane version of My Favorite Things. Just amazing!

Best intro to any song ever. Just breathtaking.

My "Favorite Jazz Song" of all Time! Thanks Ancestor TRANE!🌈🎼🎉🎶😇

The cadenza at the end is particularly wonderful.

This is one of my favorite things

The real Sound of Music!

Coltrane is always wonderful and plays intensely. What makes peculiar this version in my opinion is Roy Haynes drumming, so different from Elvin Jones' and the high quality of the recording that makes you hear every single note played by Jimmy Garrison. Beautiful!

They cut it short !!! Wtf !!! "JOHN COLTRANE, MC COY TYNER, JIMMY GARRISON, ROY HAYNES." THE BEST PIECE OF MUSIC EVER !!!!

Roy Haynes snare is a work in itself. Let alone everything else.

There is a subtle releasing of energy and at the same time some kind of in taking peacefulness. Some dancing sandals stomping the material essence of the world while flying with some mysticism that I imagine new and rarely celebrated for ourselves in this litoral of the universe. Most probably Coltrane needed it for his own good and pleasures; it delights me likewise, it is simply beautiful and like it...thanks!!

I'm using this for study. Education is fair use! Every musician should know this 17 minutes of music.

Just stunning! Best live version by far, not the longest but best!

what an awesome version so much talent . unreal ...

Yup, still goosebumps down the neck

“My Favorite Things” John Coltrane “Newport ‘63 Album”. John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner piano, Roy Haynes on Drums , Jimmy Garrison on Bass. Is the undisputed standard for “My Favorite Things”…..Just compare any, any other version. Roy Hanes, Drummer the Star, incredible, from the first beat to the last beat. Listen to the Talking “Drums”. How gracious is John Coltrane to McCoy Tyner to continue the flow with an incredible solo. Jimmy Garrison keeps the bass the grounded. John Coltrane, RIP…. This is “My Favorite Things”, This is “My Love Supreme”.

Écouter une première fois à 25 ans’ aujourd’hui j’ai 51 ans, il est toujours dans mes oreilles.

THIS HELPED ME DEVELOPE MY TRUE INTEREST IN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC BACK THEN. HAD UNCLES EXPOSED ME.THANKS TO BOTH...

This performance changed my life at 16.

I NEVER get tired of hearing this tune from COLTRANE! My old boss said that he saw Trane in Philly & he played this joint for 3 hours & no one in the club was annoyed.

JOHN COLTRANE (s sax), McCoy Tyner (p), Jimmy Garrison (b) and Roy Haynes (d).

Stunning. I used to think this recording was from 1968 or 1969. 1963 was another geological age. WAY ahead of its time. Stunning courage and fearlessness. BRILLIANCE.

The best live record ever made.

コルトレーンはこの曲を生涯愛しましたね〜ジャズファンも彼の演奏を愛しました🎶🤔😃

This man was not of this world. The best 🙏🏻

Love the way Roy tunes the snare with that loose trap sound! ❤️

🌈🎷My Favorite Sax song of John Coltranes!

Unmatched enjoyment.

To infinity and beyond

After 30 years, still one of my all-time favorite Coltrane performances.

Champion!

やっぱトレーンのMy favorite thingsは、このNEWPORT版が1番イイ！　Roy Haynes , OMG !

I love those flat note accents..how they feel so 👍

Sublime

WOW WOW AN MORE WOW !!!!

I knew the studio take well and enjoyed it, but you can't understand what the song meant to Coltrane until you hear how he played it during different phases of his career. In 1961, he was still exploring the melodic potential of the tune, most interestingly in tandem with Eric Dolphy on live recordings from that year. The melodicism peaked in 1963, with the stunning versions on Newport '63 and Afro Blue Impressions (the latter is my favorite)

What a beginning! This is Genesis 🎹

Germany in the 60's is where I first heard him and I'm still listening to him. This and "Giant Steps" are the reason I joined the Church of John Coltrane in SF.

John Coltrane u are awesome as ever, taking ur sexyfone to way above the next level!! Thank you for leaving us this great legacy of music God bless you where ever you are, Sennen Antonio Dourado Wisconsin Milwaukee's Mumbai India.

Love it

Captures sadness and joy in one hypnotic tour de force.

Hard to chose a version but this one got points

All great

This was his best version !! He was the leader !! No. 1 alltime !!!

McCoy Tyner is no slouch on this recording either. Just wonderful piano playing.

Blessed

Guau increíble esta versión ♥️

I grew up hearing this…

This is an amazing artistic statement.

This is one of the greatest recordings in history if you ask me. I've never heard brush work this dynamic! (Tony Williams - drums)

When to dog bites, and the bee stings. When Ur feeling bad; a revue of Favorite Things is prescribed.

This is the greatest soprano solo of all time bar none , I am a musician so I think I know

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

Merveilleux.

Get em Roy

I would give my left hand to have video of this. Everyone search their collections.

There's nothing like the NJF in the world. No other Jazz Festival in world even comes close to it. It is now in good hands with Christian McBride as its musical director after the passing away of its founder George Wein last year.

Fantástico sonido!

I'm glad when my national radio is on strike, they're able to broadcast that version

“THERE IT IS”🤙🏼

It sounds even new.

Live at the VIllage Vanguard, and Return to the VIllage Vanguard are grabbers, maybe his best,

Sounds like elephants mating..in a good way..fantastic!

Just for the record, I'm not Mary, I'm her husband using her Google account. I used to think Coltrane's music sounded like a catfight, I couldn't abide it for the longest time. But tonight, after a strong dose of my plant-based medicine, I think I get it. He produces sounds from a soprano sax that shouldn't be humanly possible. He must have been physically and mentally drained after that. This is my new favorite thing!

Colch makes me feel the very surroundings of things

FOR THE THUMBS DOWN YOU CAN NOW PUT YOUR THUMB BACK IN YOUR MOUTH AN GO BACK TO SLEEP !!!

Roy Haynes “wow”

Just Loved went to his Church.Hung out with his Bass Player San Francisco 1978

I do agree

コルトレーンさん、凄い!!

Sounds like he’s channeling God

A Version Supreme!!

❤👌

Incredible jazz, beyond words...

😀💛

😔🌸🌿🌻

Isn't Roy Haynes on drum?

it took some brothers in 1966 while drafted into the slave army to turn me on to the jazz from the best like Mann, and Coltrane, missed three years , the inner voyage has evolved for fifty years now, and can go to the spirit world fulfilled whatever happens, because the weed that started the adventure, fell by the wayside in five years, and yoga took over, kundalini, hatha, raja, bhakti, shabd, and Tibetan, I played in the army , first chair, but kkkrapitalism and reverse sexism kept me down for a lifetime, too bad for them
