I don't have too much to add about this album other than what's been said, but I do have to say I STRONGLY but respectfully disagree with Stephen. I think this version of "My Favorite things", though it does slow down, is one of the most intense Coltrane performances ever. I first heard it about 4 years ago, and I still play it continuously; Trane is really burning the saxophone on this one. I'm not a big fan of Archie Shepp's, though his material is fairly strong on this album, and "One Down One Up" is decent... but "My Favorite things" MADE this album for me. I had to write a review when I read it wasn't that great!
