Tell me what tune you are working on right now! I'm learning some nice standards for a gig coming up. Estrellita Ms Otis Regrets (courtesy of @Viktor Houf) Thou Swell Willow Weep For Me. When I'm bulk learning tunes for a gig I try to spend each day going through a new one till I sort of know it. Once I have my set of tunes "buskable", I listen to different versions and mess around with them trying to find my own way of laying the melody. I always try to work out the harmony by ear but then check it against the ireal book changes to see if how I'm doing/if there are different ways of playing the chords. Which tunes are you working on?

What is the one thing you have found hardest moving into playing jazz? Give us some more details in the comments if you like.
