Tunes are our shared language. One of the most beautiful and unifying aspects of jazz is this
common musical familiarity that enables any group of seasoned musicians to get together and
immediately start making music. I’ll cover the pros and cons of learning tunes as well as the right
approach to building a solid base of tunes in your arsenal. At the end I give a list of tunes to learn,
separated out by their importance based on the frequency with which they get called at
sessions/gigs.
