Watermelon Man - Herbie Hancock. jazz/funk fusion kinda thing. one of my favorite songs of all time

[motokid9]

There is a bunch of popular standards, but I seem to end up playing "So What" the most.

[RHDIII]

all the things you are, blue bossa, billies bounce, on green dolphin street

[aetherspear]

My Funny Valentine, My Favorite Things, Moonlight in Vermont, So What, All Blues, Girl from Ipanea, One Note Samba, Mood Indigo, In a Sentimental Mood, Giant Steps.

[imgooley]

Take Five and Moondance are probably the easiest. Giant Steps is not for n00bs.

Blue Monk and Epistrophy are also good standards.

[Joey-Tribiani]

Black Orphius, Take the A train, In a sentimental mood, Mr pc(my favourite), All of me, All the things you are, basically all those catchy songs that are easy and fun to improvise on.
get a 'Real book'.

[Punk Poser]

Any Rhythm Changes, i.e. Oleo, Anthropology, I Got Rhythm. Misty's a good one too.

[meh!]

Satin Doll is probably one of the most famous ones.

As with most standards, atrocious lyrics. lol

^Misty is a really good one to know. So is Round Midnight.
