Songs

The recordings below are the original recordings of the songs accepted by Today's Jazz Book.  To Download a Song,  click on the three vertical dots at the right end of the MP3 player.  Download charts from our downloads page.

In many cases, the recordings below have song structures that are more complex than the Today's Jazz Book version.  In other words, we have simplified the charts for these songs to meet the criteria of Today's Jazz Book, so the recordings may not match the sheet music exactly. 

As this is a volunteer, crowd sourced effort, we invite others to record the songs using the structure in Today's Jazz Book charts so the recordings match the basic structure in Today's Jazz Book. To provide a recording or a new composition, please send us a shareable link through the Contact Us page or post it in the discussion forum.
