Vaginal Davis presents Rising Stars, Falling Stars – We Must Have Music!

On August 25, Vaginal Davis dedicates her monthly film series to a jazz superstar: the documentary Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser (USA 1988) was completed by Charlotte Zwerin six years after the death of legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. The basis for the film is formed by footage shot in 1967 for German television and which was long thought lost. It shows Monk on tour, on stage, interacting with other musicians and above all gives some rare insights into his private life. With the help of the musician's friends and associates, Zwerin is able to create a piercing portrait of musical genius Thelonious Monk. Followed by drinks and music as always.
