Interesting list of tunes at this site.  Beware!  The lead sheets are
written for trumpet, while the chords are for piano...all on the same page.


Quote from the site:  "The upper section with the chords is for
C-instruments (banjo, guitar, piano, bass), the lower with the melody is for
instruments tuned in Bb (trumpet, clarinet, soprano- and tenor sax,
trombone)".  Dunno why the author has included trombone in those that read
from a Bb chart, which of course is wrong!!   

Much better, in my opinion, to have any lead sheet floating around the
bandstand to be written for piano.  Less confusion!
