How did experimental saxophonist John Coltrane take a popular song from musical theater and transform it into a work of jazz transcendence that would go on to be a radio hit? More importantly, why did he even try?

On this episode of Let’s Face The Music, we trace the origins of ‘My Favorite Things’ from The Sound Of Music on Broadway to a New York City jazz club then back to The Sound Of Music on the silver screen. Taking us on this journey are pianist Michael Feinstein, Dame Julie Andrews, and Nashville saxophonist Bruce Ervin.
