This selection presents the greatest hits of Coltrane’s career, including six of his best known compositions, all of which became jazz standards (among them the splendid “Blue Train,” “Giant Steps” and “Naima”), his breathtaking reading of “My Favorite Things,” and his poignant version of “In a Sentimental Mood,” on which he is backed by Duke Ellington on piano.
