Monk & Pannonica: An American Story

Directed by Jacques Goldstein

With Thelonious Monk, Pannonica de Koenigswarter, Archie Shepp and Matthew Shipp

Paris, 1954. The story of the meeting, known thanks to the fortuitous discovery of a forgotten notebook, full of notes and photographs, between a white British aristocrat, Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter, writer and jazz patron, and a talented black pianist, Thelonious Monk, one of the best bebop jazz musicians of all time; a prodigious union of wills that overcame the most extreme prejudices of the very conservative US society.
