Because of slight differences in the charts, downloading this playlist may result in many nearly identical duplicate charts in your library.

Hey all, I just found a site called Jazz24(dot)org that did a user survey and these were the top 100 vote-getters. Well... 79 of them. 21 of the ones on their 100 list were nowhere to be found on the big lists here! I didn't do exhaustive searches through all posts for the missing ones, though, so I suppose it's possible they're in here somewhere, from individual contributors. But thought this might be an interesting playlist to view.

I don't have time right now to go back through and list the missing ones, but I'll do that soon... Perhaps some (like "Birdland," not to be confused w/ "Lullaby of Birdland") aren't all that practical in the iRealB format, since they're so much more melody-dependent than chordal...

Thanks,

Thanks for the guidance, I'm pretty new to the group. I thought the sandbox was more for original tunes. Also, I think the missing 21 tunes from this list will be valuable to the group as a challenge to add them to the library.

And this wasn't a "personal" playlist as you called it. But I understand.

Perhaps participating members will post iRp charts for them.

OK, going back through the jazz24.org list of their top 100, these tunes listed below are the ones that I didn't find an iRealB chart for. From what I can tell, their list is based more on specific recordings than on the charts themselves (or the original composer(s) ), but I was still surprised to see so many of these absent from the iRealB books. And of course I recognize this is an arbitrary list, just like suffering through the inane inclusions and enraging exclusions of, say, a Spin Magazine list of essential pop recordings or whatnot. But I personally have been enjoying the collection they've made on their site, and found it worth exploring.
If these ARE in the forums somewhere, and are perhaps buried in a singular post, or titled differently, please reply and let me know!

A Love Supreme, Part 1: Acknowledgement -- John Coltrane
Birdland -- Weather Report
Sing, Sing, Sing (with a Swing) -- Benny Goodman
Strange Fruit -- Billy Holiday
Blue Rondo A La Turk -- Dave Brubeck Quintet (duh... would make for a pretty useless iRealB chart)
West End Blues -- Louis Armstrong
Flamenco Sketches -- Miles Davis
Blue Train -- John Coltrane
Moanin' -- Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
In The Mood -- Glenn Miller Orchestra (??? How is this not in here somewhere? Titled differently, perhaps?)
Cast Your Fate to the Wind -- Vince Guaraldi
Rhapsody in Blue -- George Gershwin (another duh)
Compared to What? -- Les McCann
Bitches Brew -- Miles Davis
Twisted -- Lambert Hendricks & Ross
Linus & Lucy -- Vince Guaraldi
One O'Clock Jump -- Count Basie
Potato Head Blues -- Louis Armstrong
Bumpin' on Sunset -- Wes Montgomery
Feeling Good -- Nina Simone
Moody's Mood for Love -- James Moody
Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue -- Count Basie and his Orchestra
Water Boy -- Don Shirley Trio

And I am not EVEN gonna deal w/ anyone working the math out on this, cuz yes, I counted 23... and yet my playlist has 79 on it... which makes 102, when it's called the Top 100. I can't see where I and/or they went wrong, and I'm too much A, B and C and not enough D, E, and F to care right now ;-)

Have you tried the search function:
