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
