Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser

  (1989)
Madness and genius are often inexplicably intertwined, as was the case with brilliant jazz pianist Thelonius Monk, who spent his last years living as a virtual hermit. Straight, No Chaser's archival footage (shot in 1968 for German television) only hints at the madness to come. Interviews with Monk's family and collaborators round out this music-filled portrait of talent and torment.
