Standard Coltrane is a compilation album by John Coltrane released in 1962 by Prestige Records, bringing together recordings from two different sessions: one from July 11, 1958, and another from March 26, 1959. The material was originally published on the albums Coltrane Time (1958) and The Stardust Session (1959), and Prestige reissued it under this title to capitalize on Coltrane's growing popularity.
The 1958 recordings feature trumpeter Donald Byrd, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Taylor, while the 1959 session includes pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb. The album focuses on jazz standards and ballads, showcasing Coltrane's lyricism and melodic skill before his modal period.
Although not conceived as an original studio album, Standard Coltrane offers a valuable insight into Coltrane's early development as a standard interpreter. Critics have noted that while it is not a cohesive work, it contains outstanding performances such as 'Spring Is Here' and 'I Love You'.
