    Came across the DVD "Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser" the other day and watched it this evening. 
    I love this quote from the DVD box:

    "Filmmaker Bruce Ricker couldn't believe his luck.  Michael Christian Blackwood's extensive 1968 footage of modern jazz pianist/composer Thelonious Mouk- including the very private Monk off stage- was in excellent shape.  The reels were, Ricker said, "just sitting there like the Dead Sea Scrolls of jazz."

    A must-see for jazz- and especially Monk- fans.
