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.
