Thelonious Monk, the great High Priest of Bebop is presented here at his peak in a concert performance at London's Marquee Club, appearing complete for the first time ever on DVD. By the mid '60s, when the two sets presented here were filmed, and after twentyyears of playing, Monk was finally attaining the success and recognition he deserved, his shy smile during the applause giving proof of his inner satisfaction of becoming both a critic's and audience favourite.
