Straight, No Chaser is the sixth studio album Thelonious Monk recorded for Columbia records, released in 1967. The album was reissued on CD in 1996, including restored versions of previously abridged performances and three additional tracks.
"Japanese Folk Song" was based on Kōjō no Tsuki, a Japanese song written in the Meiji period. It can be heard in the 2016 American movie La La Land as one of the main characters tries to memorize and play it.
All songs by Thelonious Monk unless otherwise noted
Side One
Side Two
*On the original LP, the song " Kōjō no Tsuki" by Rentarō Taki was incorrectly identified as a "Japanese folk song" of unknown provenance. This has been corrected on re-issues of the album.
