keberoxu Great Lives: Thelonious Monk (1917-1982)-on BBC (21) RE: OBIT: Nellie Monk - RIP 18 Jan 25


Just watched "Straight No Chaser,"
Clint Eastwood's homage to Thelonious Monk.
Lots of archival footage, including film of
Nellie and Thelonious Monk together, especially on tour.

By all accounts Monk was blessed in his marriage and home life,
as Nellie was understanding and dedicated throughout their life together. And she made certain that the two children understood that their father was ill and needed extra care and attention.

I can't recommend the Clint Eastwood project,
at least not watching it on YouTube, where
commercial advertisements interrupt it every five minutes or so,
within the YouTube upload.
Maybe watching it without all the distractions, but
I don't know where that is possible.
