A working jazz pianist, Ted Gioia, put out a book 3 years ago examining 250 jazz standards. Great reviews by everyone at the Usual Suspect and here's Ron Weinstock's blog entry: http://inabluemood.blogspot.com/2012/12/...dards.html << Darned tootin' I got skin in the game. Somebody has done us a real one at YT with 100 tunes keyed to the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA6ulKFX...afpuQxKfcc << Actually only 77 counting the deletions (copyright issues, no doubt) and most are repeated, showing how different musicians approach a tune. There are several YT posts on this theme. Using the book as a guide, you could prolly assemble all 250 in time.
