Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Long time jazz fan Clint Eastwood assembled this colledtion of Monk interviews, performances, and comments by other musicians. A large portion of the footage was taken from a 1968 German TV documentary featuring the Monk Quartet of the time on a European tour. This is a wonderful introduction to the genius of Monk, the first great avant guard jazz player and composer. There is a companion CD and LP as well. Monk died in 1982, not having performed in public for ten uears.
