The clip Ray's penance from Field of Dreams (1989) with James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner. Powered by: Anyclip. any moment from any film.

What was the awful thing you said?
To your father?
I said I could never respect a man whose hero was a criminal.
Who was his hero?
Shoeless Joe Jackson.
You knew he wasn't a criminal. Then why did you say it?
I was 17.
The son of a bitch died before I could take it back.
Before I could tell him you know.
He never met my wife.
He never saw his granddaughter.
This is your penance.
I know. I can't bring my father back.
So the least you can do is bring back his hero.
Well...
Now I know what everybody's purpose here is.
Except mine.

Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser (Straight, No Chaser ) (1988): Being-interviewed

by AnyClip (4 hours ago) 9 views

The clip being-interviewed from Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser (Straight, No Chaser ) (1988) with Thelonious Monk, Bob Jones. Powered by: Anyclip. any moment from any film. What is more important in your work? Playing the piano or composing? - I do both. - Both. Mr. Monk, do you always wear different hats and caps in your concerts? Do they have an influence in your music? No. Good question. Maybe they do. I don't know. Do you think the piano has enough keys? 88? Or do you want more or less? It's hard work to play those 88. I was in the room, Nellie was in the room, backstage. And a reporter came and asked him what kind of music he liked. And Thelonious: "I like all kinds of music." A pretty good, legitimate answer. And then the reporter said, "Do you like country music?" Thelonious didn't answer. And the reporter said, "Well, do you? Do you like country music?" Thelonious looked at me and said, "I think the fellow's hard of hearing."

Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser (Straight, No Chaser ) (1988): Appearing-on-live-tv

The clip appearing-on-live-tv from Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser (Straight, No Chaser ) (1988) with Harry Colomby, Thelonious Monk. Powered by: Anyclip. any moment from any film. Live television is the scariest medium of all... ...because it's millions of people. If you're going to act silly or not show up... ...it's going to be a glaring omission. I just remember being very nervous. He sat down and he played, and I was aware... ...of a real professional. What's there to be nervous about? He's there. I remember though, on the way back, he was a little pissed off... ...at Count Basie. What did he say? He said Count Basie kept looking at him... ...while he was playing. He was at the piano and that somehow bothered him. He said, "Next time he plays, I'm going to look at him."
