"Straight, No Chaser" is a jazz standard composed by Thelonious Monk. It was first recorded on Monk's Blue Note Sessions in 1951. It has been recorded numerous times by Monk and others and is one of Monk's most covered songs.〔(Straight No Chaser ) at (jazzstandards.com ) - retrieved on 24 April 2009〕 It is a 12-bar blues in B which, like one of his other B blues, "Blue Monk", makes creative use of chromatics in the melody. Miles Davis recorded a famous version on his ''Milestones'' album, in which the tune is played in F rather than B. Music educator Mark C. Gridley wrote about Monk's composition style: "Monk employed simple compositional devices with very original results. His 'Straight, No Chaser' involves basically only one idea played again and again, each time in a different part of the measure and with a different ending."〔Mark C. Gridley: ''Jazz Styles: History and Analysis''. Prentice Hall, July 31, 2002. ISBN 0-13-099282-8.〕 Carmen McRae recorded a vocal version of the tune in 1988, with words by Sally Swisher. The McRae version was titled "Get It Straight".〔 == Personnel == The lineup of the original 1951 recording was: * Thelonious Monk – piano * Sahib Shihab – alto saxophone * Milt Jackson – vibraphone * Al McKibbon – upright bass * Art Blakey – drums 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Straight, No Chaser (composition)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
