Remastered Hemiolia’s Stereo Edition by Pietro Benini (January 2026)
We are delighted and honored to begin this new year, which marks the Centenary of John Coltrane’s birth, with the release of the remastered Hemiolia version of “My Favorite Things,” one of his seminal masterpieces.
Coltrane considered this album his favorite among all the ones he recorded. He regarded it as such a perfectly realized work that he felt no need to alter anything, unlike many of his other records, where he would have liked to refine small details. The album represents a pivotal transition from bebop to modal jazz, highlighted by his pioneering use of the soprano saxophone.
The classic quartet, featuring McCoy Tyner on piano, Elvin Jones on drums, and Steve Davis on double bass, reinterprets standards such as “Summertime” and “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” with an improvisational, hypnotic, and vibrant approach, frequently described as a rhythmic-harmonic “pedal.” We invested considerable effort in creating a remaster that remains fully faithful to the original source while bringing fresh clarity and fully revealing the deep emotional power this masterpiece continues to convey with every listening.
