50 Jazz Standards - The Songs You Need To Know

Jazz Standards are the songs you need to know to learn to play Jazz. I always say "Learn Jazz - Make Music" in my videos and the Jazz Standards are the songs that play when you make that music. This video is a list of 50 Standards that are really useful to have in your repertoire, songs to check out when you learn jazz standards. I have split them up in some different categories because that is practical for when you are playing. You don't want to play 5 medium swing songs in F major next to each other in a set, you might find yourself playing the wrong theme at the end (true story!) Having variation in a set is very useful.
