Thelonious Monk Palo Alto

For a sustaining donation of $5 per month or a one-time donation of $60, you'll receive the brand new release of a live Thelonious Monk concert, Palo Alto.

In the fall of 1968, a sixteen-year old high school student named Danny Scher had a dream to invite legendary jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk and his all-star quartet to perform a concert at his local high school in Palo Alto, CA. In a series of twists and turns, against a backdrop of racial tension and political volatility, that concert happened and was recorded by the school's janitor. The CD comes with a booklet & foldable poster.
