FiImmaker Bruce Ricker couldn’t believe his Iuck. Michael and Christian Blackwood’s extensive 1968 footage of modern jazz pianist/composer Thelonious Monk – including the very private Monk offstage – was in exceIIent shape. The reels were, Ricker said, "just sitting there Iike the Dead Sea ScrolIs of jazz." Ricker, as coproducer, joins director and fellow producer CharIotte Zwerin (Gimme Shelter), executive producer Clint Eastwood and others to bring these "scrolIs" to vibrant life. Their Thelonious Monk Straight, No Chaser 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 auraI and visual treat. |
