Jacques Ponzio recounts in text and images
Thelonious Monk's 10-day stay in Paris in the spring of 1954.
Spring 1954: Thelonious Monk spent ten days in Paris, France. From the first press clippings the country
devoted to the pianist to the various stops during his Parisian stay (including a concert given at the 3rd Salon
du Jazz, held from May 30 to June 7, at the Salle Pleyel), articles and photos document the comet's passage:
both on stage and on the Seine, Thelonious Monk took everyone by surprise.
Jacques Ponzio is a French writer and musician, and a leading specialist on the works of Thelonious Monk.
