It's interesting that in the Ashley book about ALS, Coltrane himself is reported to have seen this photo as a snapshot taken by Theile and proclaimed that he felt that was the photo that most looked like him, and I think I remember that he was involved in having this chosen as the cover photo? I think that makes it quite an interesting photo, it's not a FAVORITE of mine, but it's quite telling in how unglamorized it is. . . .
