Thelonious Monk - Straight No Chaser Reviews

---

When musicians really cared about the music
This is the DVD I would give to all my friends who scattter when I go to play a Monk CD, saying "I just don't understand that music." Hopefully the glimpse it provides into the life of a genius and superb musician, the regard others had for him, and the respect he demanded for his art, hearing from him, and hearing and seeing him play that piano will spur them to want to hear more. I rarely peer into the lives of musicians I love, but I am glad to have looked closer at Thelonius Monk. His was of the era when the music itself was what really mattered to the artists who created it, and Monk was champion at that.

No sound!!
And no it's not the DVD player...everything else works fine on it. This is the second time this happened with Amazon. The first time was a real hassle since the replacement had no sound either..grrrrr! Not a big jazz fan but LOVE Monks music. I really wanted to see AND hear him play.
