Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser

The Trylon

Thu Sep 09 7:30
(1988, Charlotte Zwerin, DVD, 90min) Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser provides an intelligent portrait of this often reclusive, sometimes difficult artist, including telling glimpses of his volatility. Perceptive interviews and glimpses of Monk's sunnier moments provide added depth, yet the real triumph is the generous catalog of classic Monk songs captured on camera.
