A list of tunes I've played at public jam sessions in Toronto over the last 2 years that I've been attending as a drummer.
All of me Summertime Now's the time Au privave Scrapple from the apple It don't mean a thing Satin doll Blue bossa C jam blues So what Cherokee Tenor madness Autumn leaves Billie's bounce Black Orpheus Blue monk Oleo Straight, no chaser All the things you are East of the sun If I were a bell My romance There will never be another you What is this thing called love Footprints Four Have you met miss jones Just friends Mr PC Recordame Solar Song for my father So what St. Thomas Take the A train All the things you are Scrapple from the apple There is no greater love Watermelon man Alone together Girl from Ipanema Days of wine and roses Doxy Softly as in a morning sunrise Star eyes All blues Freddy freeloader Ornithology Impressions Lester leaps in Fly me to the moon Less common Blues for Alice Donna Lee Beautiful love Wave Work song Georgia My little suede shoes A night in Tunisia Tune up How high the moon Stella by starlight Body and soul both fast and slow Confirmation I hear a rhapsody Up jumped spring There will never be another you I love you Out of nowhere Night and day The link below offers some good advice to read before you attend your first jam, including a short list of essential tunes for beginners. You don't need to learn the entire list before attending. A blues in Bb and F, a common standard or two, one bossa and you are ready to go. http://music.unl.edu/jazzstudies/HaarJamSessions.pdf Cheers, David Story
