• For the first time ever on DVD, an amazing 1969 performance by the Thelonious Monk Quartet, with Philly Joe Jones as guest drummer on two selections.

• Thelonious Monk entered a long phase of introspection and cancelled his concert schedule after 1968. He disbanded his quartet with Charlie Rouse, stopped recording for a while, and only performed sporadically. This is one of his last concerts ever with Charlie Rouse.

• As a bonus, there are three solo piano tracks filmed in color at the Berlin Philarmonie, where Monk was one of many guest musicians paying homage to Duke Ellington.

• Thelonious Monk, piano; Charlie Rouse, tenor sax; Nate Hygelund, bass; Paris Wright, drums; Philly Joe Jones, drums. Salle Pleyel, Paris, France, December 15, 1969.

• Total Time: 81 min. - 15 tracks - B&W (Paris)- Colour (Berlin) / Mono.
