A documentary film about the life of pianist and jazz great Thelonious Monk. Includes Michael and Christian Blackwood’s extensive 1968 footage of Monk—including the very private Monk off stage. For Bruce Ricker, this footage is “like the Dead Sea Scrolls of jazz.” This film combines the Blackwood footage of groundbreaker Monk in studio, on tour, and behind the scenes with new interviews, archival photos and more to create a landmark aural and visual treat.
