List Of Jazz Standards And Keys

A“standard” or “jazz standard” is referring to a popular music piece and/or jazz music composition that is held in continuing esteem and is frequently used in musical repertoire.

Many of these “jazz standards” were not necessarily originally jazz compositions. Music publishers include the term “jazz standards” in a description or a title they nearly always are referring to compositions used as the basis for improvisation or jazz arrangements.

You will find in this post a non-exhaustive list of jazz standards and their original keys to practice at home or in jam sessions.

    Hi. Really cool and useful page. What about having the standards classified by key instead of alphabetic order. In my case, I come here to find titles related to a specific key. Having to scroll all the way becomes a bit tedious.

      Hello, Yes that's a good idea. All depends on what you're searching for...keys or a specific standard.
