[Dixielandjazz] Re: jazz standards

[Dan Augustine]

Jim (c: DJMLers)--
     Welcome.  David Littlefield ('Sheik') has a good list on one of 
his websites of basic 'must know' tunes: 
http://www.cpcug.org/user/dwlit/ (click on the 'Dixieland Basic tune 
list' link in the left frame).
     He also has a number of other goodies on that site, in addition 
to being the author of one of the best dixieland fake-books (click on 
"Playing Swing and 30s 2-beat music" and at the bottom of the page 
under 'Resources', click on the link "Dixieland Fake Book").
     Of course, one of the best ways to learn the tunes is to play 
them with others.  Where are you located?  There may be others in 
your city (maybe even some on this list) you could play with.

     Dan
