 Your Dream Set - Top 20 Jazz Tunes If you were to pick the top 20 instrumental jazz tunes for a set to play with a group which tunes would you choose? If you don't have 20 just put down as many as you can. Another way of putting this would be what are your top 20 favorite jazz tunes to play with a group?

By all means include standards too if they also happen to make good instrumental jams. |

| Yikes...a dream set? That is almost too much freedom to fathom. With the huge diversity of jazz, I'd be disappointed not to see a ton of tunes that I've never heard of before. So many great tunes never even got covered by anyone but the original artist, if you know what I mean. Plus, my dream set would probably change from week to week. This week's dream set might be this: Invitation Epistrophy Milestones Hottentot Stolen Moments Number Ten Impressions Maiden Voyage Fables of Faubus Back Woods Song Zydeco Clowns On The Lam Mercy, Mercy, Mercy The Chicken Jelly Roll Speak No Evil Struttin' With Some Barbecue So Nice Mean Streak Works For Me Sweet Georgia Bright Whew! That was tough. I could stretch those tunes into 3 sets, easy. It would be a dream to sit down with other musicians and even get to play them at a rehearsal! |
