Rewind and Play

Thelonious Monk Director: Alain Gomis Alain Gomis

Overview

Documentary filmmaker Alain Gomis unearths television footage from the late 1960s to the present featuring never-before-seen snippets of renowned jazz artist Thelonious Monk. As an African American pianist and composer, he was featured in many media outlets during his time. This film centers on one particular television guest slot he did in France for the show hosted by Henri Renaud. It shows how Monk was subjected to praises and prejudices at the same time as he tried to traverse the safe line between these realities to produce his music and to have his artistry break free.
