Coltrane's "Stardust" is on a different 1970s 2-fer titled (appropriately enough) The Stardust Sessions.  I only know because I also have this album in my collection. 

 

´cause you mention it and you must be right: 

I think I even have the CD or LP of "Stardust". 

It seems it was not only the tune, but the album´s title too. 

But you know....I have certain tracks in my mind and hear `em in my head rite now while I write this, but I never know exactly to what album it belongs, even if I have the personnel in my head. 
I hear something that might have been a milestone in my developement but that´s all. 
 

The only thing I sure know is that I like his 50´s session more when Philly Joe Jones is on drums. Art Taylor was a wonderful guy and a very very fine drummer, but nevertheless the non plus ultra of his time, I mean pre-Tony Williams, pre Elvin Jones would be Philly J.J. for me.

Some Hoosier connections there, given Katzman and Med Flory’s presence.

Currently playing:

[John Tapscott]

[jlhoots]

Roy Brooks: Black Survival - The Sahel Concert at Town Hall (needed more music & less "chanting").

[HutchFan]

Still in heavy rotation at my house:

Tamba Trio (RCA Brazil, 1975)
So groovy & musical.  Luíz Eça should be more well-known in jazz circles.  (Although you could probably say that about half the musicians in this thread. )

 

Also:

Larry Willis - Sanctuary (Mapleshade, 2003)
A terrific album.  Larry Willis' musical spirit often reminds me of Bobby Hutcherson's.  Both men have a similar soulful sophistication, warmth, and openness.

Every time I hear RRK I’m amazed at what he could do initially and then I’m just lost in the music he creates.

Started the day off with the breezy sounds of trombonist Vittor Santos “Renewed Impressions/Renovando As Consideracoes” cd on Adventure Music. I love this cd!

Followed by the Verve Acoustic Sounds series Japanese SHM-SACD of “Duke Ellington & John Coltrane.” Sublime sounding disc, music that I have cherished a few decades.

From the All Music Guide:

[i]The first five tracks are from a duo tour with the phenomenal bassist Eddie Gomez, who spent over 11 years with the pianist. The absence of a drummer (Marty Morell was evidently not a part of this tour, though he played with Evans into 1974) gives Evans a more intimate sound; Evans seemed to achieve an incredible E.S.P. playing with the talented Gomez.

Following a buoyant opener, “Up with the Lark,” the duo’s moving setting of Evans’ bittersweet, lyrical “Time Remembered” is a reminder of the pianist’s total mastery of ballads, as is his equally touching “The Two Lonely People.” There are plenty of fireworks in the pianist’s “T.T.T. (Twelve Tone Tune)” as the two musicians use his dissonant theme as a jumping-off point for brilliant improvisations. The 1975 set adds drummer Eliot Zigmund, who spent four years with Evans. In these trio selections, the pianist introduces each theme alone, though it is a diverse five-song set. Evans’ upbeat “Sugar Plum” showcases the leader extensively, with the rhythm section coming in several minutes later. There were several modern pop songs that drew the pianist’s attention, including Bobbie Gentry’s “Mornin’ Glory” (which incorrectly lists Glen Campbell as co-writer), which Evans transformed into a potent jazz ballad. Evans’ “T.T.T.T. (Twelve Tone Tune Two)” is even more demanding than its predecessor, with the trio navigating its pitfalls with ease in a wild, breezy performance.
