Top 10 from JEN

A recent survey, published in JAZZed, the magazine of the Jazz Educators Network (JEN), shows that US educators' top tunes to know in jazz are very similar to the IASJ's top 10 list. 

All Alamo Colleges Jazz Allstars, as well as all students who take part in the annual IASJ meeting (e.g., this year in São Paulo), are expected to know all of these for purposes of jam sessions and auditions.
