For this video on Most important jazz standards of all times I have teamed up with Richie Zellon. Richie made a video on how to comp over 3/4 meter and we play a song toghether. So check out his video and his channel!
When I first came up with the idea of a Must Know Jazz Standards list, I wasn't sure, how to present it. I wanted to tell you the most important jazz songs of all times. But hey, there are so many.
I think dividing it into different categories is a good way for you to get an idea, what the important jazz songs styles are and where you may show deficits.
The categories for my Famous Jazz Standards list are:
Easy Jazz Standards you must know
Blues Heads in Dominant, Minor and Major (Jazz Blues this is, of course)
Songs based on Rhythm Changes
Bebop Songs you need to know
Jazz Ballads
Latin, Bossa Nova (they belong to jazz too)
Odd Meters
Fusion Standards (modern Jazz Standards)
You should know at least one song per category and 2-3 Easy Jazz Standards, since you'll find them in each jazz session.
We've tried to tell you the most important jazz songs of all times, that every guitarist needs to know.
Richie and I have at least one Must Know Jazz Standards for each of the categories. We also introduce you to the different styles of jazz and give tips on the keys the suggested jazz songs are played in as well as some improvising tips.
I hope that we can help you expand your jazz song repertoire this way and make you ready for all the great gigs and sessions to come.
