Dir(s): Hannah Rothschild
Program: World Showcase
Run Time: 83 | UK | Language: English
Young Pannonica "Nica" Rothschild has it all. As the beautiful heiress to one of the world's largest fortunes, she lives a life of 1950s decadence. But on her way to catch a jet out of JFK to meet her husband, she stops to hear a jazz record by a struggling musician. She never makes her plane. So taken with the unknown's musical talents, Nica braves social censure, and even jail, to cultivate the genius of the now-legendary Thelonious Monk. Rescuing instruments from pawn shops, even shepherding bands to gigs in her Bentley, this white Jewish woman becomes an unlikely freedom fighter for a generation of black artists, a patron saint for the bebop movement. Combining interviews with luminaries Quincy Jones, Sonny Rollins, and Clint Eastwood with Nica's personal letters read by Helen Mirren, filmmaker Hannah Rothschild, Nica's great-niece, crafts a fascinating love story between an indomitable woman, a musical giant, and the jazz that bewitched them both.
