In 1960, Tyner joined The Jazztet led by Benny Golson and Art Farmer. Six months later, he joined the quartet of John Coltrane that included Elvin Jones and Steve Davis (later replaced by Art Davis, Reggie Workman, and, finally, Jimmy Garrison). He worked with the band during its extended run at the Jazz Gallery, replacing Steve Kuhn. Coltrane had known Tyner for a while growing up in Philadelphia. He recorded the pianist's composition "The Believer" on January 10, 1958; it became the title track of Prestige's 1964 album "The Believer" issued as a John Coltrane record. He played on Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" (1961) for Atlantic. The band toured almost non-stop between 1961 and 1965, recording the albums "Coltrane "Live" at the Village Vanguard" (1962), "Ballads" (1963), John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman (1963), "Live at Birdland" (1964), "Crescent" (1964), "A Love Supreme" (1964), and "The John Coltrane Quartet Plays" (1965), all for Impulse! Records.
