Chico Hamilton

Filmed at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival and directed by renowned photographer Bert Stern, this film features intimate performances by an all-star line-up of musical legends including Louis Armstrong, Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Anita O'Day, Chuck Berry, Dinah Washington, and closes with a beautiful rendition of The Lord's Prayer by Mahalia Jackson at midnight to usher in Sunday morning.

Contemporary filmmaker Hannah Rothschild tries to uncover the love story between the jazz genius Thelonious Monk and her great aunt Baroness Panonnica Rothschild. This film whirls its audience into a vortex of clashing, yet interconnected, worlds.
