History of Jazz Time Line: John Coltrane 1960


  • Over six days in October, Coltrane records material for three albums. The first one released, My Favorite Things, features his recorded debut on the soprano saxophone. "My Favorite Things," a highly modal piece, will become a Jazz favorite. Coltrane's quartet on this date includes pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones.

  • Two other albums recorded by Coltrane during these marathon October sessions were Coltrane's Sound and Coltrane Plays The Blues.

  • Coltrane's The Avant-Garde, which delves into Free Jazz, was also released during 1960.

  • Coltrane also becomes interested in and influenced by Ornette Coleman. He records Coleman's "The Invisible".
