Hey TC
Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for standards to play unaccompanied at an audition. I tend to play ballads a bit.. interpretively.. when I don't have a rhythm section behind me.
Thanks

Re: Unaccompanied standards
For a jazz audition? How about Lament by J.J. Johnson?

Re: Unaccompanied standards
Most of the bonekill stuff is cool as hell but they wouldn't really be classified as standards that judges are looking for

Re: Unaccompanied standards
Just get a Fake Book (Real Book) and start reading down the tunes. There should be dozens (if not hundreds) of nice standards for you to use.
