TOAPP
2023 Jazz Jam with Tony & Pete Levin

Songs - Charts & MP3 download links

May 21, 2023

Possible songs for the jazz jam set this year.  Clicking on a blue title will give you a link to download a ZIP folder containing an MP3 of the song and a printable 8.5x11 chart in PDF format.  In some cases, there are multiple charts with the melodies transposed for different instruments - C, Bb, Eb, etc.  When the page opens up, look for a 'download' icon on the right side.

Several songs would be great for horns.  It would be great to know there will be several horn players there.  If you're planning on that, post it on the FaceBook TOAPP page.  Start a thread.

Several songs could have vocals.  We'll try to work several of those in, but we can't do too many.  Here, the standard keys are listed next to each title.  If someone is going to sing, the key is negotiable.  email or FB message me.

 Based on interest and response, this list will be pared down to 14 songs.  We'll make a set list out of those.  Then the set list will go on a sign-up sheet.  By request, there are a few repeats from previous years.

If you have trouble or are unable to open a ZIP folder,
email me and I'll get you straight.  Pete
