Felipe Gianei...Hello, Felipe, The movie is “Thelonious Monk: Straight No Chaser” It is on UA-cam as a ten part playlist. This scene is on part seven. If you haven’t seen the movie, It’s worth getting it on Amazon. Lots of great footage of Monk and comments from people who knew this giant first-hand.
If I drink enough of the Merlot, I sometimes then pretend that I'm wearin' dem pants and then I play on the xylophone like I know what I'm doin'. Then after some more of the Merlot I look in the mirror and realize that I'm not who I thought I was. Then after some more of the Merlot I start dancin' like Sammy Davis Jr. and that my friend, makes me happy.
Given the complications of his life,it is wonderful to see Monk smiling and happy.If you watch all of the documentary "Straight No Chaser", you'll see that he was happy to end the European tour.
Doctor: you have 45 seconds left to live
Me:
Lmao
One of the best videos on UA-cam, easily....
I love how happy the pantaloons make him
Monk was a sharp dresser himself. He always wanted to look sharp.
He was bit of a dandy, with his sharp suits, his hats, his glasses, it was part of his mystique.
I watch this any time I need my spirits lifted. Thanks for posting.
My absolute favorite observation by Monk!
That’s my favorite scene from the movie. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Which movie is it?
