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!
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!
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
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'm glad to hear you emphasize ear training and the importance of listening.
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.
Very easy as well: Chitlins Con Carne by Kenny Burell (Tenorsax Stanley Turrentine). And really groovy.
Great sound Jay! A few notes with great sound and rhythm is better than many notes without.
That was awesome! You made it so simple! Thanks!

OMG! So good to see something relatively easy at least once LOL So refreshing Jay. Thank you for that.
My favourite is Blues Walk by Lou Donaldson
(btw loved the Soul Station over there)

A great list and a wonderful explanation...I especially like the way a beginner can play C-Jam Blues from the day !.

Anything by Horace Silver!

It would have been so easy to just show us the notes of the scale but noooo.
Now additional research is required.
