Common Jazz Standards and Tunes

The tunes are arranged in categories according to their level of difficulty. There are also Blues and Rhythm Changes categories. This is not a comprehensive list, but represents tunes from my personal repertoire along with tunes I plan to learn. Most of the tunes are jazz standards, but many are Great American Songbook classics.

Send me a message if you think of other tunes that should be included. Randy Hunter - [email protected] - www.beginningsax.com
