Absolutely yes !!

When Peter is asking you how many tunes you know... that alone is intimidating beyond belief.

Fantastic! I’ve got 3-4 tunes I need to brush up on. Thanks guys.

Yeah, yes yes yes Summertime. This song enables great highs and lows in a soprano's register. Yeah!!!!

When I started out everyone called Black Orpheus, Groovin’ High, and Beautiful Love. I wish the latter was called more, it’s such a great tattoo.

Good point on the popularity of tunes by region. Let's start a thread: where are you from? What's popular in your city? Something I'm seeing missing here: different blues heads (both major and minor). Here's some common ones I've heard called: Now's the Time Straight, No Chaser Au Privave Billie's Bounce Sonnymoon for Two Tenor Madness Blue Monk Blue Train Mr. P.C. Some less common ones I like to play: Sandu (Clifford Brown) The Blues Walk Watergate Blues (Percy Heath) Turnaround (Ornette Coleman) Five Spot After Dark (Curtis Fuller) Equinox (John Coltrane) Also, it's not a 4/4 I-IV-V blues like the songs above, but "All Blues" gets called all the time.

I would love a discussion from pete and adam on jam sessions, what to do, what not to do. Who calls the shots? And, from an ear player perspective only, do you call the key, the progression, or just the starting note? Thank you for the music 🎵

What's to figure - it's a jam, anyone can make a tune suggestion. Then determine the key. You may discuss soloist order, but mainly just look for and give cues, and LISTEN! Play to the group consciousness and you'll do great.

I think part of the fun of jams is figuring it out on your own 😅 the mistakes and embarrassment and awkwardness is part of the process

Another great video! Honestly I have avoided Giant Steps but I will be proactive on it now starting today! What about Invitation it's a masterpiece using all notes of the scale as a root note! Also my favorite Monk's We'll You Need,nt Miles version! Peter loved your Live version of In a Mellow Tone! Adam presently working on your video 5 levels of Pentatonics its so helpful!

For sure. Mastering that strange vibe is not an easy task!

As someone commented, Solar was written by Chuck Wayne but attributed to Miles Davis. It's also loosely based on How High The Moon ("lunar"), so there's no reason to believe that it should have that weird pronunciation that so many have used (myself included).

+Lady Bird and footprints and this list is perfect to me 😉

thanks for sharing knowledge

In Central Florida we always call (in addition to the list from this video) on ANY jazz gigs/ jam sessions: - Mercy, Mercy, Mercy - Feel Like Making Love - This Masquerade - Misty - Girl From Ipanema - Wave - Blue Bossa - Almost Like Being In Love Plus buch of Sinatra stuff. Plus bunch of Natalie Cole stuff (entire Unforgettable album). I guess it’s “regional”, sometimes specific to the certain city you live in… Here latin and Brazilian rhythms are very popular in addition to traditional swing oriented grooves…

Definitely Oleo ! Or any other “rhythm changes” piece…

Thanx,Gents.

One major thing I noticed about the list was it was missing a tune with rhythm changes. It’s just my opinion but there are basic forms every jazz musician should know to start with. Blues, minor blues, rhythm changes, modal tunes, tunes with 2 5 1’s, tunes running through the cycle of fourths and Coltrane changes, played in different keys and tempos. A good thing to do is to go to a jam session and scope out what everyone is playing.

I’m in Seattle, and I’ve never heard body and soul be called out on a jam session. I’m a singer/pianist so I usually call it out to sing it, but I’ve never heard anybody jam on the tune. It’s kind of weird, maybe it’s just a Seattle thing
