Straight, No Chaser
Composer:
Thelonious Monk
A jazz standard in the key of F. The chord changes are a modified Blues form. The melody is based around long chromatic runs, typical of Thelonious Monk's composition style. This tune is best-known from Monk's album of the same name but another definitive version is by the Miles Davis Quintet of the late 50s on the Milestones album.
