Jazz Standards

The Definitive Collection of Essential Jazz Tunes

This collection features the most authoritative versions of songs we are all expected to know — presented in accurate, easy-to-read charts. For the ‘Great American Songbook’ selections we listened to up to ten versions of each one to create the jazz community’s preferred chord changes. 

At the center of it all is The Standards Real Book  and our New Real Book series— Sher Music Co.’s definitive fake books of the jazz repertoire, trusted by players and educators around the world.

Whether you’re learning tunes for gigs, teaching students, or refining your understanding of the jazz tradition, these are the charts you want in front of you.
