High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In his relatively brief career, John Coltrane recorded over 100 live and studio albums, both as a leader and a sideman, authoring some of the most deep and diverse musical work of the twentieth century. The bulk of Coltrane`s work as a leader was recorded for the Prestige, Atlantic and Impulse! labels. Other labels recorded Coltrane as a leader, most notably Blue Note, for whom he recorded the famous Blue Train album. Some of his later work, in particular live recordings, was released by foreign labels. Most of Coltrane`s recordings as a sideman were made when he was with the Miles Davis quintet. The majority of these are collected in the Columbia box set, but the quintet also made a number of important recordings for Prestige.
