John Coltrane: Cattin', 1957
Did John Coltrane record with Lester Young? Sadly no, but in 1957, he came pretty close as far as the ear is concerned. In May of that year, Coltrane recorded the album Cattin' for Prestige with tenor saxophonist Paul Quinichette (pronounced QUIN-ah-shay). Coltrane's sax mate on the album was known in the jazz media as the ...
