Straight Life by...who?

[Aaron Saunders]

I was just looking in the RB2 (fifth edition) and it listed Freddie Hubbard as the composer. I thought this was pretty odd as Straight Life appears on Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section with Art as the composer, AND Art's autobiography is called "Straight Life."

...

So what's the deal? Is this another Real Bookism, or is this one of those "Song For My Father" deals where two people have tunes with the same name?

You might want to try actually listening to the Art Pepper and Freddie versions to see if they're the same song. But in case you don't have access to recordings, they are not the same song.

Yar, I do not have access to the Freddie version.

But, thanks for the answer .
