Recorded live at New York's legendary Birdland club in early 1962, The Inner Man captures John Coltrane during a pivotal creative period. The sessions feature Coltrane on tenor and soprano saxophone alongside Eric Dolphy's alto saxophone and flute, anchored by the classic rhythm section of McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones. Originally released in 1977, this collection—also known as Live at Birdland and My Favorite Things—documents the interplay and spontaneity of one of jazz's most transformative ensembles.
