BUNK MONK & FUNK – AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS. The memoirs of Danish jazz promotor and record producer Anders Stefansen, as told to Jan Søttrup.

He also produced the Henry Miller movie “Quiet Days In Clichy”, had successes in the theatre and founded one of the first new French cuisine restaurants in Copenhagen, Anatole. Bunk Monk & Funk is his colorful tale of growing up in an amusement park and the first travels through post-war Europe in search of the new swinging music.
