Here are 25 Jazz standards from the teachings of Aimee Nolte. If she played guitar she would be perfect but alas no one is perfect. These are ranked by difficulty for pianists. I’ll try to work down the list by linking to examples of performances and tutorials. As I learn new tunes I’ll link to my own renditions.
My current project is Covocado – Carlos Jobiem -arranged by Sandra Sherman.
Here is a nice rendition by Stringspace.
