Bags & Trane is a jazz album by the musicians Milt Jackson and John Coltrane , which was released in 1961 on Atlantic Records . Hank Jones , Paul Chambers and Connie Kay play alongside the two . The album was produced by Nesuhi Ertegün .

The album, which is the only known collaboration between Coltrane and Jackson, was recorded on January 15, 1959. There are a few other tracks on the CD edition that were recorded during the same recording session but were not released until 1970 on the album The Coltrane Legacy . They were not initially on the Bags & Trane album , "because they were solid swing blues and ballads numbers, but compared to the other recordings, their concentration and intensity were a little off."

“This album could sell just because of the big names,” said 1961 in the specialist magazine Billboard . The two stars of jazz, although Coltrane's approach was more modern than Jackson's, harmonized well on the very lyrical record. Unlike Jackson, Coltrane did not bring his own compositions. In Down Beat magazine , the album received only 3½ (out of a possible 5) points. On the other hand, Allmusic awarded the maximum number of 5 possible points.
