Prestige Coltrane Recordings

The Big Black Mighty Who Sang But Not Too Loud

Hi... I'm currently tring to write an entry on John Coltrane... So far I've got up to 1957, and his first record as leader. Sources describe May's 'Coltrane' as the first, but the Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD lists 'Dakar', from the previous month, but doesn't explicity say he's leader... I don't know much about early Trane (like, at all, really) so can someone please put me straight???
