I would like to put forward a list of ideal jazz standards that provide a great starter repertoire when learning jazz:
Blues: Freddie Freeloader, Blue Monk
Minor Standard: Autumn Leaves
Swing Standard: There Will Never Be Another You
Modal: So What
3/4: All Blues
Funky: Chameleon, Watermelon Man, Cantaloupe Island
Bop Blues: Straight No Chaser, Au Privave
Bossa: Blue Bossa
Ballad: My Funny Valentine
Most, if not all, of these can be found in "Real Books" and are a great place to start.
