Outkast "remix"

The Outkast version of "My Favorite Things" is a cover, not a sample-based remix. While the song is played in the style of the Coltrane version (with the addition of a drum machine), they are clearly different recordings. The liner notes also credit bass, saxophone, and piano players. 24.9.37.100 16:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Ian Douglas-Moore[reply]

Bla Bla Bla

"It is considered by many jazz critics and listeners to be a highly significant and historic recording."

This kind of thing must be EXPUNGED from the face of the planet --IRONY-POLICE (talk) 18:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so this was reverted by Editor437 to read "It is considered by many jazz critics and listeners to be a highly significant and historic recording", apparently because there is "nothing controversial" about such a statement. If, Editor437, you are indeed an editor as your name suggests you should be well aware that in this case 'controversy' is not the point, and unless you can point the reader in the direction of these MANY people who consider this to to be "highly significant and historic" (which is also fairly meaningless, everything that exists is historic, perhaps you mean "historically significant to jazz music"?) it should just be removed for contravening style policy. In sum, in its current form the statement is nothing except FLUFF and PAP whose sole purpose in this universe to pad out certain person's preferences/dogmas/affections/peculiarities etc. while simultaneously reducing the quality of the content for the rest of us. Back it up with an authoritative source, or take it out. --IRONY-POLICE (talk) 14:59, 2 February 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Congratulations to you, Editor437, on your dazzling wit, intelligence and discursive ability. You have elevated these hallowed pages to hitherto uncharted levels. This exchange has, for me, truly reflected what the indefatigable Spirit of Wikipedia is all about. --IRONY-POLICE (talk) 14:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Free jazz?

"The album was also the first to quite clearly mark Coltrane's change from bebop to free jazz,"

Should this not read from bebop to modal jazz? Coltrane didn't really get heavy into free jazz until around the time that Tyner and Jones left the quartet in my opinion.

Agreed. Rothorpe (talk) 12:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The page is full of errors. My Favorite Things was Coltrane's third album for Atlantic. He had begun to play modal jazz on Miles Davis's Kind of Blue album (see Ashley Kahn (2001). Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. foreword by Jimmy Cobb. Da Capo Press, USA. pp. 67–68. ISBN 0-306-81067-0). My Favorite Things was also the first album to appear on which Coltrane played soprano sax, although he had played sessions on soprano with Don Cherry which were released quite a bit later (see Tom Lord, The Jazz Discography Online).Hfriedberg (talk) 21:30, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
