Thelonius Monk: Straight, No Chaser (1988) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TheloniusMonkStraightNoChaser Filmmaker Bruce Ricker couldn't believe his luck. Michael and Christian Blackwood's extensive 1968 footage of modern jazz pianist/composer Thelonious Monk - including the very private Monk offstage - was in excellent shape. The reels were, Ricker said, "just sitting there like the Dead Sea Scrolls of jazz." Ricker, as coproducer, joins director and fellow producer Charlotte Zwerin (Gimme Shelter), executive producer Clint Eastwood and others to bring these "scrolls" to vibrant life. Their Thelonious Monk Straight, No Chaser combines the Blackwood footage of groundbreaker Monk in studio, on tour and behind the scenes with new interviews, archival photos and more to create a landmark aural and visual treat. Directed By Charlotte Zwerin Starring Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Jimmy Cleveland Subscribe to watch more Warner Archive videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/warnerarchive?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW WARNER ARCHIVE ON SOCIAL Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/warnerarchive Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/warnerarchive Twitter: https://twitter.com/warnerarchive ABOUT WARNER ARCHIVE Warner Archive Collection is a branch of Warner Bros home entertainment that releases classic films and TV that were previously unreleased.

Through the Eyes of a Drummer The Life and Photographs of Jimmy Wormworth by Neal Miner For the past five years I have been experimenting with video and audio recording. After getting my feet wet with a few projects, I decided to undertake the challenge of documenting a person’s life, career and, in this case, some very unique photographs. Since 2005 I have had the good fortune of playing regularly with master drummer, Jimmy Wormworth on a weekly show with the iconic Annie Ross. On one of our first gigs together Jimmy pulled an old snapshot out of his pocket, handed it to me with a playful grin and said, “Who’s that?” After examining the slightly tattered photograph I realized that it was none other than my bass hero, Paul Chambers, sipping from a bottle of Gordon’s gin backstage while standing next to the legendary pianist, Wynton Kelly. Every week thereafter, Jimmy showed me more shots that truly amazed me. I then learned that when Jimmy was in his early twenties he was the drummer for the hot, new vocal group, Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. He was on tour with them from 1959 to 1961, sharing concert bills with all the top jazz groups of the day. Backstage Jimmy was not only rubbing elbows with the giants of jazz, he was also snapping photographs with his Brownie camera, documenting these legends in a very candid light. I was immediately intrigued and inspired to do something to help Jimmy share these photos and his stories with the world. This documentary is strictly a labor of love and not for profit in any way. My only goal is to share Jimmy Wormworth’s fascinating life story and his beautiful photographs. I hope you enjoy this film, the making of which was an amazing experience and opportunity for me to learn and grow. I am truly grateful for all of the many people who contributed to and helped out with this project. Thank you for watching! Neal Miner P.S. Please spread the word and long live Jimmy Wormworth!
