A post from Doug Ramsey in his
Rifftides blog, led me to a great site for lovers of jazz;
Jazz Standards is the first and only centralized information source for the songs and instrumentals jazz musicians play the most.
The site was put together by jazz aficionados and musicians who saw the need for a centralized source of information about those tunes most often played in jazz,
the standards.
They have put together a remarkable resource, detailing the fascinating origins of the tunes, musical analysis, history, anecdotes, biographies and recommended CDs.
