Olé Coltrane is the ninth album by jazz musician John Coltrane, released in 1962 on Atlantic Records, catalogue SD 1373. His last album for Atlantic made under his supervision, unlike Coltrane's previous sessions done at their own studio, this was recorded at A&R Studios in New York.
Background
Two days prior to the recording of this album, Coltrane did his inaugural recording session for his new label, Impulse Records, at the new Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.With one further album due his old label Atlantic, he brought in his working quintet along with two participants in the Africa/Brass sessions, Art Davis and Freddie Hubbard. Owing to his concurrent contract with Prestige Records, Dolphy had to be listed on the credits under the pseudonym George Lane.
Coltrane's interest in the music of Spain evident in "Olé," may have been spurred by his ex-employer's Sketches of Spain from the previous year. The soprano saxophone work on themodal jazz vamp "Olé" recalled last year's "My Favorite Things," while the titles for the songs on side two reflect the band's continued interest in African forms as expressed on the May 23Africa/Brass recordings.
On September 19, 2000, Rhino Records reissued Olé Coltrane as part of its Atlantic 50th Anniversary Jazz Gallery series. Included was a single bonus track which had appeared on The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings in 1995.
