Dakar is a jazz album by saxophonist John Coltrane. It was released in 1963 on Prestige Records. [1] [2]
Dakar is a reissue of one side of the 16+2⁄3 rpm LP Baritones and French Horns (released in 1958), a portion of which was recorded on April 20, 1957 (the same day Dakar was recorded), and which was a session led by Pepper Adams and Cecil Payne on which Coltrane was a sideman.
Dakar was one of several 1960s Prestige reissues featuring Coltrane to take advantage of his growing stardom in the 1960s.

In a review for AllMusic, Lindsay Planer wrote: "Although at the time these were considered 'leaderless' units, upon hearing the interaction of the participants, modern ears might desire to qualify that statement" given the nature of Coltrane's contribution. [4]
Chris May of All About Jazz commented: "It's rough and ready music, almost certainly rehearsed for the first time in the studio... but it sure is ready... A minor chapter in the Coltrane canon it may be, but Dakar is a characterful set of propulsive, pre-codification hard bop and still a delight over half a century later." [3]
