Thelonious Monk appears in the awesome 10-part PBS doco 'Jazz' (2001) -- Part 08 -- 'Risk: 1945-1955'
The jazz professor, a unique pianist with mathematical rhythm skill and a great collection of spectacles and hats.
Thanks to Larence N. Shustak for introducing me to Monk back in the late '70s, I now rate his music as my favourite jazz to listen to, along with Billie Holiday.
