After becoming independent from the group of the "Emperor" Miles Davis, John Coltrane formed a quartet with his ideal members, McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones, and proceeded to record this album.
The title track of this album is an insert song from the musical "The Sound of Music" by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. However, at the time of recording, the famous film adaptation had not yet been released. Although it was a popular song on stage, this performance gained fan support because of the comfort of jazz in 3/4 time, the dynamism of the drummer, and above all, how exceptionally well Coltrane’s soprano saxophone suited the melody. Coltrane himself took a liking to it, and it became a favorite piece he performed throughout his life. While his performances of it became truly fierce in his later years, on this album, he plays the charming melody carefully with a piercing soprano saxophone. That is likely the secret to its popularity. This is a popular album that also features standards by great composers such as Gershwin and Cole Porter. (Hiromasa Takagi)
