Jacques Ponzio

Jacques Ponzio recounts in text and images Thelonious Monk's 10-day stay in Paris in the spring of 1954.

A collection of quotations from Thelonious Monk, organized as an alphabet book (new revised and augmented edition). More than a hundred entries based on the testimonies of musicians (Steve Lacy, Sahib Shihab, Henri Renaud) and journalists (Leonard Feather, Ira Gitler, Val Wilmer…).

Jacques Ponzio re-questions the life and personality of legendary American jazz pianistThelonious Monk as much as his music.
