Monk, Pannonica And The Jazzmen

Following the discovery of a forgotten photo album filled with notes, The baroness and the jazzmen tell the story of a meeting that breaks the narrow constraints of 1950s American society, between the white aristocrat, Pannonica de Koenigswarter, and the talented black pianist, Thelonious Monk. A meeting that takes place against the backdrop of this black musician’s struggle for recognition of his art. The photographs and secret wishes, collected by the “Jazz Baroness” in this stylish red leather notebook, portray the many difficulties they faced. Yet, at a time when most of them were utterly destitute, they invented a now universal form of music: jazz.
