Standard Coltrane
1962 studio album by John Coltrane
Standard Coltrane is an album by the jazz musician and composer John Coltrane. It was released in October 1962 by Prestige Records. It was recorded at a single recording session at the studio of Rudy Van Gelder in Hackensack, New Jersey, in 1958. This album was rereleased in 1970 as The Master (PR 7825) with that version rereleased on CD to include the other four tunes recorded at the same 11 July session. Those other tunes had previously been released on two other albums assembled from unissued recordings (Stardust and Bahia).

In a review for AllMusic, Steve Leggett stated that the album is "more historical than vital or transitional, although it's pleasant enough."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz called the album "a low-intensity operation with the emphasis on ballads," and commented: "Harden's warm, unemphatic trumpet-playing is perfectly appropriate to the setting, and it rarely attempts anything that will scare the horses. He and the leader seem to have worked out the approach only rather notionally, and each of their improvisations has an informal, loose-limbed quality that is attractive but hardly dynamic."
