What are the top ten jazz standards i should learn/ know if I want to learn how to be a better at jazz piano?
i’m just starting to study jazz, deeply, and im a freshman playing for my high schools jazz band, they are always talking about songs and good groups, can i have some hints of some of the basic standards i should know/ learn to play, and some of the best groups out there?
The first answer was very good. I will give you a tune that is and has been recorded for many years by a wide variety of Jazz musicians from Ella Fitzgerald to Herb Alpert. The harmony attracts Jazz musicians very strongly to the great song All The Things You Are. The greatest version for me is the one by the great Jazz pianist Art Tatum and the tenor sax of Ben Webster. The extraordinary interplay of Art Tatum and Ben Webster is fantastic,and it is the most romantic version of All The Things You Are.
Other songs which you should explore: Sophisticated Lady by Duke Ellington
All Blues by Miles Davis
St. Louis Blues by W C Handy
Song For My Father by Horace Silver
Mood Indigo by Duke Ellington
Lush Life by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington
Take Five by Dave Brubeck
All of Me by Lester Young
A Night In Tunisia by Dizzy Gillespie
Now’s The Time by Charlie Parker
Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday. These are a few songs ,but many artists have played these songs many times and there are many Cd versions available.
