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+23 rpm LP Baritones and French Horns (1958), 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.
