Well, from the Ellington songbook, you could include:
Mood Indigo (first theme, second position requires an overblow)
The Mooche (third position w/o an OBs)
Creole Love call (both melody and countermelody)
East St.Louis Toodle-oo (third position)
Black & Tan Fantasy
C-Jam Blues (nearly any position)
Things Ain't what they Used to Be
It Don't Mean a Thing (if it ain't got that swing)
For further explorations, you could go by bandleader (Basie, Goodman, Cab Calloway, Lunceford, etc.) and/or by composer (Gershwin, Cole Porter, etc.) and also bring into more recent times with people like Michel Legrand, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, etc.

I starting compiling a list of jazz tunes (standards) you can play on the diatonic. I recognize that this list is limited by the technique of the player and many of you can overblow quite proficiency hence many more doors are open to you.
Here it goes: Autumn Leaves Lullaby of Birdland Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White Hers four to start with Can you include Chitins Con Carne? _______________________________________________ Harp-L is sponsored by SPAH, http://www.spah.org Harp-L@xxxxxxxxxx http://harp-l.org/mailman/listinfo/harp-l
