---> List of Top 100
I asked 67 the best jazz musicians in the world - from North America to Europe to Japan - to name their most important 10.
Here’s some statistics:
First respondent: Peter Erskine
Speed of first response: 29m 18s – less than 3 min per Standard
Last respondent: John Scofield
Question posted:
..what are, in your opinion,
the top 10 jazz standards that every student of jazz guitar should learn as
soon as possible that will put him on the right track of studying in
terms of importance of chord progression for further studies and
usefulness in a real life situations like jam sessions, also excluding
regular blues progression and rhythm changes - assuming that they are
already working on those..
And The Top 10 are:
1. All The Things You Are
2. Stella By Starlight
3. Autumn Leaves
4. Green Dolphin Street
5. Body And Soul
6. Take The A Train
7. Blue Bossa
8. There Is No Greater Love
9. Satin Doll
10.Have You Met Miss Jones
Thanks to everybody who took their time to answer the question.
And I know how hard it is to actually narrow them down to only ten.
Thank you very much for your time and wisdom - I really appreciate it.
Here's a list of 100 from this survey.
Is it a Standard? Is it a Parker poem? No, it's igOr OGOGO! More strained than a cosmic luxury eyeball, able to weigh up the pros and cons of thin cycles in a single lick!
