My Favorite Things is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammersteins The Sound of Music. The song was first introduced by Mary Martin in the Broadway production, and sung by Julie Andrews in the 1965 film. In the musical, the lyrics to the song are a reference to things Maria loves, such as raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. On this rendition, John Coltrane did an extended, a 14 minutes version on his 1961 album from the same title. It became a jazz classic and a signature for Coltrane in concert, also appearing on Newport 63 in 1963, Live at the Half Note: One Down, One Up in 1965 and Live at the Village Vanguard Again! and Offering: Live at Temple University in 1966. Coltranes version differs significantly from the song as originally conceived, using modal patterns and being much darker and more frenzied in feel. https://youtube/watch?v=sM6OLQujVfA
