There's a 24/192 remaster of this, do you have it? 

There are 24/...remasters of many Trane albums, do you have them? ;)

(not mentioning SACDs, in particular great sounding Analogue Productions ones)

No, I am one of these old fashioned guys who buy these old fashioned silver discs. I rip the cd's for head-fi listening (MacBook, Audirvana), the discs shine in a Moon cd-transport (with separate Primare DAC, also old fashioned, no MQA ?). Must say I am not always impressed with the sq of those "remasters". Perhaps I should try some hi-rez.

 

My only Coltrane-indulgence, regarding sq (a present from Santa, aka my wife):

Afaik Take Five was designed as a showpiece for Morello (correct me if I am mistaken).

 

Take 10 is indeed a follow up, but it is not a Dave Brubeck album (it's a Paul Desmond/Jim Hall enterprise). Nevertheless, it's one of my favorite albums (I am a Desmond-fan). Highly recommended.

You're absolutely right, Take Ten is a Paul Desmond/Jim Hall session. Slipped my mind! It's a wonderful album. As a matter of fact, I like it better than Take Five!

The upside of finding upsampled albums on Qobuz is that you get free albums. 

 

This was my latest choice.

Young German/Italian pianist Sophie Pacini, a Martha Argerich protégée, plays some excellent highly romantic Schumann and Mendelssohn. 

 

Well worth checking out.

You are not mistaken. It was written by Paul Desmond in 5/4 time, and it became one of the best known jazz compositions of all time.
