About the image

Another stunning black and white portrait of legendary jazz saxophonist John Coltrane at the Berkeley home of music critic Ralph Gleason in 1960.

Gleason contributed for many years to the San Francisco Chronicle, was a founding editor of Rolling Stone magazine, and was co-founder of the Monterey Jazz Festival.

Jim Marshall & John Coltrane had a very special friendship and Jim held that friendship close to his heart. He took some of the most intimate photographs of Coltrane. There are over 60 photographs by Jim in the new book, “Coltrane: The Definitive Visual Celebration of the Legend”.
