alexischickeColtrane hat ja soviel aufgenommen,dass teilweise Impulse den Überblick verloren hat,was sie wann und wo von ihm aufgenommen haben.Beinahe jedes Live Konzert haben Sie von Coltrane mitgeschnitten.
Die meisten Stücken wurden in einem Take aufgenommen.

hierzu Bob Thiele aus Simpkins Buch, p 162… die Zeit mit Coltrane und den vielen Takes fing natürlich erst nach der Prestige Zeit an…
Thiele suggested that the group record with Duke Ellington. John was elated to play with a great contributor to the music, one whom he had admired so long. This work with Duke affected his approach to the recording studio. Previously, he strove for perfection to the smallest detail in his recordings. Once he had the quartet return to the studio to re-record one note. Thiele spoke of the effect of Duke.
„He would do a tune 12, 15, or 20 times before he was satisfied and even though we did a tune 20 times he might go back to, or agree to go back to the second or third take or something like that. The first tune we did with Ellington was In a Sentimental Mood. We did that in one take and I’ll never forget my reaction. Ellington, I know from past experience is going to say that’s it, great, and Coltrane would say, I feel we should go over this a few more times. Immediately I ran out of the studio and though I didn’t know how I would handle it, I had to get the two guys together. I said, Duke (he was the oldest of the three of us there), what do you think, knowing he would say it was great, which it was. He said „That’s fine,“ and i said, John, do you think we should do it again, giving him the opportunity to say something. Duke immediately interrupted, and said „Well, what for, you can’t say it again that way, this is it.“ John said „Yes, Duke, you’re right,“ and from then on the album went very smoothly. Also, from then on John’s recordings were based on one and two takes. I must say that after the meeting with Ellington, Coltrane never spent that much time on a take, on a tune. […]“
