Straight No Chaser
Aroview: Composed of B&W archival footage of Thelonious Monk (rediscovered 20 years after the fact), this sees the idiosyncratic jazz pianist in full possession of his genius in a 1969 concert. Monk’s enigmatic personality (some might say insanity) is discussed in new interviews with band-mates, friends and family.
