This is great, Jay. I wish someone had told me which songs to learn when I first started learning jazz. And btw, your BetterTrax are the BEST backing tracks out there. Hands down. They are AMAZING and SUPER FUN to play with! 😊 Thanks for the discount today!
A few more really easy ones: Freddie Freeloader, Work song, One for Daddy-o, sack o woe But most people don't like adderley tunes for some reason so only freddie freeloader
Excellent stuff Jay for budding beginners and buddiing improvisors. Fundamentals on I-IV-Vs and with blues turnarounds ... and pentatonics. And as you say, it gets them going at open mics and jams at an early stage. Less notes more rhythm! 😁 Set their roots and they will grow indepenently.
Ive been loving your videos Jay. I’m coming back to the saxophone from a 15 year hiatus and based on your recommendations I got a Jean Paul Tenor sax and one of your burnin mouth pieces and I love both! Thanks!
Every session has its own few that seem to get called a lot. Billie's Bounce and Au Privave seem to be popular in my area. Back at the Chicken Shack was a favorite a few years back. Watermelon Man is a popular one not listed here, though I would cheerfully not play it again for a decade. Blue Monk and Straight, No Chaser get called a ton. Better know those, probably even more than C Jam or Bags' Groove. Go to the session once, be prepared to lay out a bunch, then go home and learn the ones that got called. But don't practice a list of tunes in a vacuum: go jam _now_.
I met “Bags” at the Baked Potato in the LA area in 1981. He came to our table and chatted kindly during his break. I love his album, Bags and Trane.
Great sound Jay! A few notes with great sound and rhythm is better than many notes without.
Very easy as well: Chitlins Con Carne by Kenny Burell (Tenorsax Stanley Turrentine). And really groovy.
That was awesome! You made it so simple! Thanks!

I love the way u teach us
Thanks a lot, Mr Metcalf. It's a very interesting tutorial.
A great list and a wonderful explanation...I especially like the way a beginner can play C-Jam Blues from the day !.
You rock Jay!!! Thanks for sharing. 😊

Great to hear!
Thanks Jay. Very helpful.
Sister Satie, Mercy Mercy Mercy, Work Song, Coming Home Baby. Easy jam tunes. Don't forget Goodbye Pork Pie Hat.
Anything by Horace Silver!
Beautiful information
Jay I play blues music all the time, but I have to play with music.
Can you do a video on ghost tonguing?
I just play the counter melody. You guys play the head.
Any suggestions for intermediate / hard Blues? Ideally something which has sheets on musescore or youtube.
Blues for Alice. Gerkin for Perkin. The Eleventh Hour. Vierd Blues.
