Tadd Dameron with John Coltrane - Mating Call

This November 1956 date marked the first recording of the deeply moving ballad "Soultrane," and the first exposition as well of the lovely line "On a Misty Night" (based on "September in the Rain"), a number Dameron would later explore himself in other contexts. This is not a typical Tadd Dameron date in that his music is not played by a large ensemble or even a quintet. He is represented as a composer but not as an arranger. Yet his pungent themes come through strongly, carried by the searing, probing tenor saxophone of John Coltrane.
