More modern jazz has become so diverse stylistically that it becomes almost impossible to list modern standards. There is a very comprehensive repertoire list in The Jazz Theory Book by Mark Levine. This is by no means a comprehensive list, it is based mostly on jazz of the 30s вЂ“ 50s and useful repertoire can vary from region to region in the world. Most standards are available as sheet music, but jazz musicians often use fake books (aka real books or buskers books) which contain only the melody and chord symbols (and sometimes a rough rhythm guide).Д«elow is a list of some of the most famous jazz tunes that I have found useful. It is important to know the harmony as well as the melody. Jazz musicians sometimes specialise in a particular area but there are some tunes that everyone should know, if only to avoid embarrassment at a jam session when someone calls Summertime. Jazz and pop musicians learn tunes from records, other musicians or from printed music.
