ARTIST CONTEXT
John Coltrane was one of the most influential saxophonists and composers in modern music. His work moved from hard bop and modal jazz toward increasingly spiritual and exploratory forms, forever expanding the expressive possibilities of improvisation.
CHUCK STEWART / PHOTOGRAPH CONTEXT
“I adored John... He was a sweet, gentle person, a low-keyed, quiet, thoughtful, family-oriented man, and very religious... Bob Thiele did call me to be there with my camera for the second day of recording at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio. I shot six rolls of black-and-white film.” — Chuck Stewart
