John Coltrane: Dakar
by Chris May
Often cited as saxophonist John Coltrane's first album as leader, Dakar--recorded on April 20, 1957--is a usurper.

John Coltrane Live in Seattle
Coltrane and his peers dared to lead jazz into the mystic. Gayle, Ware and Shipp are still there and not looking back.

John Coltrane: Turning Point
