The Jazz Baroness

Friday, June 17, 2011

Her full name was Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild de Koenigswarter – but to her friends Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, she was just known as Nica. The story of the heiress to the Rothschild fortune who became an unlikely patron to many jazz masters is explored in a new book titled “Nica’s Dream.” We learn more about this mysterious muse from author David Kastin and composer Joel Forrester.
