This article presents the discography of the American jazz saxophonist and bandleader John Coltrane (1926–1967).
Introduction Coltrane participated in his first recording sessions while enlisted in the Navy from August 6, 1945, to August 11, 1946. He performed eight numbers in a pickup band that included trumpeter Dexter Culbertson. These were private recordings not made for official release. However, one track from the session, "Hot House ", eventually appeared on the 1992 compilation The Last Giant: The John Coltrane Anthology.
There are conflicting sources as to whether he made his first professional recording session with Dinah Washington : Jazzdisco.org lists the session as September 27, 1949 in New York City, but Lewis Porter's John Coltrane: His Life and Music states that he was on tour with the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band during that time. Most sources confirm that he recorded with Billy Valentine on November 7 in Los Angeles for Mercury Records . In subsequent years, Coltrane sat in on recording sessions with Gillespie, Johnny Hodges , Earl Bostic , and Gay Crosse.
In September 1955, Coltrane joined the Miles Davis Quintet and appeared on several Miles Davis -led recordings, including 'Round About Midnight Milestones Thelonious Monk in May 1957, and their handful of recordings together have been collected on albums such as 1961's Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane Kind of Blue
In April 1957, he signed a contract with Prestige Records ; it is unclear if this was a two-year deal or a one-year contract plus a one-year option. Many of Coltrane's recordings for Prestige could be classified as "sideman" recordings and informal jam sessions (or "blowing sessions", in the then-current terminology). He also made his first albums as a group leader, including his 1957 debut, Coltrane Blue Note , leading to 1958's Blue Train The Prestige Recordings
When his Prestige contract expired, Coltrane signed a two-year contract (one year, plus a one-year option) with Atlantic Records in April 1959. He was the leader of all of these sessions except Bags & Trane The Avant-Garde Milt Jackson and Don Cherry respectively. Albums from this period include Giant Steps My Favorite Things Heavyweight Champion box collects his recordings for Atlantic, including all known outtakes.
Coltrane became the first artist to sign with the new Impulse! Records when it bought out his Atlantic contract in April 1961. He would record for the label until the end of his life, and his success earned Impulse! a reputation as "The House That Trane Built". Albums from this final period include the live album Live at Birdland A Love Supreme Ascension
All of the companies Coltrane worked with during his lifetime have compiled and reissued his material. In addition, Impulse! has issued several previously unreleased live recordings, including Live in Japan The Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording bootleg recordings . Pablo Records , a label that specializes in live recordings, purchased rights to several tapes of his performances, and is therefore considered a legitimate source despite never signing him to its label.
