The music of jazz legend Thelonious Monk has inspired countless generations of creative minds with its brilliant free-flowing style. It has even made its way onto the basketball court, helping shape the beat of our very own NBA champions, the Toronto Raptors! The team’s innovative head coach—and die-hard jazz afficionado—Nick Nurse relates how his passion for the High Priest of bebop has influenced his approach to the game ahead of a rare viewing of the 1968 doc MONK. Hit rewind to the heyday of jazz and join Monk and his quartet as they tour from The Village Vanguard to the Newport Jazz Festival in this fascinating close-up of a game-changing musical genius.
