About these song lists: The lists include a mixture of styles. We have tried to find examples in which the melody can be heard clearly :)) Have fun practising :)). Many of the songs listed here are part of the Great American Songbook. Others are Latin jazz songs, including jazz samba and jazz bossa nova. Still others are popular songs commonly played by jazz musicians at jam sessions, covering a wide range of jazz and popular-music styles. Some of the example recordings may sound rather sweet or commercial from a jazz perspective. They were selected because they make it relatively easy to learn the melody and/or the chord changes by playing or singing along with the recording and subsequently reproducing them independently. See also our concept of “musical practice”.
