"Coltrane Time" is a 1958 album by jazz musician Cecil Taylor, released under this name in 1962. The same session was released previously as Hard Driving Jazz and Stereo Drive under Cecil Taylor's name in 1959, as it had originally been Taylor's recording date. It is the only known recording featuring both Coltrane and Taylor. The album has subsequently been rereleased under John Coltrane's name many times, including on Blue Note Records. [Yanow, S. *amg|id=10:0zfpxqtgldte|]

Taylor has described how the record company determined the choice of musicians on the session: "I said 'Coltrane okay, but I want to use all the musicians that I want.' I wanted to use Ted Curson, who's a much more contemporary trumpet player than the trumpet player I ended up with, Kenny Dorham." [cite book | last=Spellman|first=A.
