Bags & Trane is an album by American jazz vibraphonist Milt Jackson and saxophonist John Coltrane. Taking its title from Jackson and Coltrane's nicknames, it is the only collaborative record by the pair. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Vibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session".[1] Milton (Milt) Jackson (January 1, 1923 - October 9, 1999) was an American jazz vibraphonist and one of the most important figures in the hard bop style, although he performed in several subgenres of jazz.

About the Artist
Milton (Milt) Jackson (January 1, 1923 - October 9, 1999) was an American jazz vibraphonist and one of the most important figures in the hard bop style, although he performed in several subgenres of jazz. A very expressive player, Jackson differentiated himself from other vibraphonists in his attention to variations on harmonics and rhythm. He was particularly fond of the 12-bar blues at slow tempos.

This group, known from around 1950 as the Milt Jackson Quartet, eventually.
