The Baroness and The Jazz Genius

Written by Joe D on February 10th, 2021

Here is a cool BBC Jazz film made by the grand niece of thr Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter, Hannah Rothschild. She did a beautiful job in telling the story of their friendship. Monk suffered from” mental illness”. In West Africa he would have been a shaman, inother cultures what we look at as illness is seen as a special talent to communicate with the Spirit World. Who’s right? You decide. Anyway check out this cool film.
