The first Coltrane Album I got was with Dolphy doing Rogers & Hammerstein's "Favourite Things" which is approachable, haunting, beautiful, and listed in this article as the breakout hit. Coming to it almost 20 years after (it was a 1961 release, the year of my birth) it blew me away. Songs of my childhood (saw the sound of music every year on holiday for a while there. The 60s didn't have a lot of new films in circulation close to cheap caravan parks apparently.)

Coltrane played with amazing theories of chromatic chord structure[0] which he diagrammed, Like the Bauhaus design theorists did for their colour logic models
