Nice work. Now let's get this cleaned up, and filled out! -Maggie --70.48.205.156 00:53, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

The "As Sideman" and "As Co-Leader" sections are confusing, because a lot of the albums Coltrane recorded during the 1950's were "Prestige All-Star" albums, often under the leadership of Mal Waldron, but more collaborative efforts than anything else. Coltrane was only a sideman - in terms of actually being in the band - for Dizzy, Earl Bostic, Gay Crosse, Miles, Johnny Hodges and Monk - and maybe Cecil Taylor. I suggest only these albums be listed under "As Sidemen," and we scrap the "Co-Leader" section , integrate those albums into the main section, and indicate for each album that top billing is shared and with whom.

Also - since the title of this article is "John Coltrane Discography" and not "Complete John Coltrane Discography" - should we include titles like "Like Sonny" which merely reproduce material available on more famous albums? We should be as complete as possible, but if we include every rerelaase in a new form, the discography may become unwieldy and unhelpful.

Ok, so I put the leader and co-leader sections together -- basically putting all the Prestige stuff under "Leader or Co-Leader." Looks smoother to me -- any thoughts?

[edit] Bootlegs

Just curious, why no boots? There is an article on bootleg recording, so why not be thorough and list them? Where is the policy? I don't want to begin a debate over something where there is probably already a consensus, but just curious. Thanks, Editor437 (talk) 19:05, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
