In the autumn of 1968, a then 16-year-old Danny Scher set his sights on bringing Thelonious Monk and his quartet to play a benefit concert at his high school in Palo Alto, California, to help work towards racial unity in his community.

With nothing to rely on but a telephone, posters and a pitch, Scher eventually managed to organise the concert for October.

The 47-minute performance features Monk on piano alongside his touring band – tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse, bassist Larry Gales, and drummer Ben Riley – performing songs including ‘Ruby My Dear’, ‘Well You Needn’t’, and ‘Epistrophy’.
