 Wes with Trane and Dolphy? Legend has it that there was a live recording from the early 60's with at least these 3 . Does anyone know any more details?     |

| Check this out: Did John Coltrane and Wes Montgomery ever record together? - Yahoo! Answers Then, check the date of the "All About Jazz" piece. It's an April fools gag. They did not record together though I do recall reading in a Trane bio that they did a gig together, or rehearsed together at some point, around the time Wes made "Full House" out in Berkeley, CA. They discussed making a recording but it just never happened. Can't remember if Dolphy was involved in that. Perhaps others can chime in on this and provide more info.

| Yes unfortunately no recording exists of this show. A cruel April Fool's joke indeed. Wes sat in with Coltrane's band in 1961 (when Dolphy was part of the group); they played the Monterey Jazz Festival. Coltrane apparently wanted Wes to make the group a sextet but Wes said he didn't like waiting around a long time to take a solo. The book Coltrane On Coltrane has more information on this.
