Songs - Charts & MP3 download links

June 08, 2024

Songs that will make up 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 some recording 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.  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.

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