Product description

Dive into the world of jazz with Thelonious Monk's "Straight, No Chaser," a timeless classic released in 1967 under Columbia/Legacy. This sixth studio album from Monk is a masterclass in bebop, hard bop, and cool jazz, showcasing his unparalleled piano prowess and innovative compositions. With a runtime of over an hour and fifteen minutes, the album is a journey through nine captivating tracks, including the title piece "Straight, No Chaser," the hauntingly beautiful "Japanese Folk Song," and the introspective "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea."

Recorded between November 1966 and January 1967, the album features Monk's signature style, characterized by its unique melodies, rhythmic complexity, and harmonic richness. The reissue on CD in 1996 brought restored versions of previously abridged performances and three additional tracks, offering an even deeper exploration of Monk's genius.

The album's personnel includes Monk on piano and Charlie Rouse on tenor sax, creating a dynamic duo that brings each track to life. "Straight, No Chaser" is not just an album; it's a testament to Thelonious Monk's enduring influence on jazz and his ability to create music that transcends time. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is a must-experience, offering a rich tapestry of sound and emotion that will leave you captivated.

This 2025 Limited Edition Numbered Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Jazz Perfection Unmatched

    5 out of 5 stars
    LPaprobJanuary 5, 2026United States🇺🇸

    I can't conceive of this or any jazz recording sounding superior. Absolutely breathtaking. It's like they're right there in the room with you.

  • Impex Monk Vinyl Excellence

    5 out of 5 stars
    Gocac_FaaqiJanuary 5, 2026United States🇺🇸

    Super quiet vinyl, fantastic clarity, dynamics, and incredible sound quality. Impex always delivers. Apart from the sound, this is a significant record by Thelonious Monk. Highly recommend this Impex release.

  • Shockingly Underrated Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    8sfMmeabCejwuxDecember 14, 2025United States🇺🇸

    It's quite shocking that this album hasn't gotten more feedback. It's an amazing title and the music is just as fantastic!

  • Monk's Yard Sale Gem

    4 out of 5 stars
    io0298September 25, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I stumbled upon this gem at a yard sale, tucked away in a box. The record was detached from its sleeve, but it's in fantastic playing shape. Snagged it for a buck! What a steal! It's an amazing album, truly one of Monk's finest.

  • Solid Re-Release Value

    5 out of 5 stars
    RuwzakovdAugust 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is an awesome album, and MOV did a solid job with this re-release. The sound is dynamic and the vinyl is quiet. It’s not AAA or on par with AP, Impex, or Speakers Corner reissues, but it’s not far behind, especially considering the price.

About Thelonious Monk

Thelonious Monk, born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, was a pioneering American jazz pianist and composer, renowned for his distinctive improvisational style and significant contributions to the jazz canon. As one of the founders of modern jazz, Monk's unique approach to rhythm, space, and harmony set him apart, making him the second-most-recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington. His compositions, such as "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", and "Straight, No Chaser", are staples of the genre. Monk's deliberately quirky playing, which often challenges conventional notions of rhythm and harmony, might take some time to appreciate, but his brilliance as a composer and pianist is undeniable. Growing up in New York, Monk began playing piano at the age of five and honed his craft throughout his career, leaving an indelible mark on jazz history.
