PREVIEWS FOR JAZZ BARONESS
Hannah Rothschild admits at the start that she did not enter this project a jazz expert; and at the end, she admits she still isn't. But the sensitive use of the music, and respect for the musicians she speaks with (Sonny Rollins, Curtis Fuller, and Quincy Jones among them) belies her modesty.

The film is especially good as it limns the story of the filmmaker hoping to glimpse a piece of her own family history. Regina Weinreich - The Huffington Post - click here to read

It's the most beguiling music film since Eastwood's Straight No Chaser."

“Fabulous brilliant film; I loved it”
Hanif Kureishi, Author
The jazz baroness and the bebop king
"Here, then, is the answer for those wondering why the discography of postwar jazz is studded with a single exotic name, in a catalogue of compositions that includes not just Monk's own Pannonica but, from other pens, Nica's Dream, Nica's Tempo, Nica Steps Out, Blues for Nica and a dozen others. For a generation of jazz musicians, it was a way of repaying their most unlikely patron."
Richard Williams - The Guardian, Monday 22 December 2008

“Utterly brilliant”Stephen Frears, Director
“It was a beautiful contemplation of two fascinating lives. I really liked the way you put yourself into it – a lovely, touching dialogue between you and your great aunt – putting us in thrall to her great love and advocacy of genius. I have always been a fan of Thelonious Monk’s music, so it was great to be given such new insights.”
Lizzie Francke UK Film Council
“The film was fascinating and moving and had many enlightening undercurrents about the history of the 20th Century that took it way beyond the story of Thelonius and Pannonica. A very good piece of work indeed.”
Henry Porter- Observer
