Whats your favorite jazz standard?

No competition? What makes this so extremely special for you?

Im afraid I dont know what standard means in this context. Maybe im a brainlet. But my favorite jazz joint is It Never Entered My Mind

I Like New York in June
If it doesn't have a lyric and it doesn't predate bebop it's not really a Jazz Standard, I'm going to be mad at the user who says some dumb shit like Blue in Green. and need to watch it.

I think it's basically just the tunes that several significant names have played with

The standards are the mostly American popular songs before rock.

How high the moon

To play or to hear?

Either Oleo, Donna Lee or I'd take either Unquity Road, Peaches en Regalia or even Spain, but I feel those don't count

Maiden Voyage. Fun as shit to play, and so many good renditions too. Robert Glasper has a nice one which mixes it with Everything In Its Right Place, which at this point I'd consider a jazz standard on its own.

>not she brings the rain

Wonderwall

That's not a Jazz standard. If it was written after 1958 and/or doesn't have lyrics, it doesn't count. Fags only know the choruses to these songs 90% of the time.

Eh, you're talking about The Great American Songbook, rather than what is the standard, the expected to know. Though if we're talking about that the essential is I Got Rhythm.

I dont have, but i fucking love soft machine- facelift

Donna Lee is my favorite to play, but there are too many kinds to pick a favorite to listen to.

This is silly, tons of later compositions are jazz standards. Jazz standards are famous tunes commonly played by jazz musicians and are considered essenital in a jazz musician's repetoire. There's no rule about it having to have lyrics or be composed before 1958. More often than not a hard bop or fusion tune will be called in your modern jams.

In a Sentimental Mood

The Nearness Of You
Time After Time
You Don't Know What Love Is
These Foolish Things

Takin' a Chance on Love
George Shearing's version. He adds a somber melancholy to it, like the person took a chance but it didn't work out.
