By the time he played on Kind of Blue he'd been with Miles Davis for several years as part of the "first quintet" (Davis, Coltrane, Red Garland on Piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and "Philly" Joe Jones on drums) which was one of the great jazz groups of all time. I'd highly recommend getting everything they recorded, although if you're only interested in Coltrane you should be aware that he was a very young when he was in this group and musically was a long way from being fully developed.

The albums this quintet made are really terrific. Kind of Blue is really incredible also; the band is really an all-star cast (Miles, Coltrane, Cannonball Adderly, Bill Evans, etc.). I think my favorite Coltrane album is My Favorite Things, which also features some excellent musicians, including McCoy Tyner on piano.
