The Tunes Session

Every month, I host a jam session at Nostalgia in Fishtown, Philadelphia, where we play through the repertoire of a chosen composer. I'll post the tune list here, along with links to original sheet music and original(ish) recordings when available.

All musicians are welcome to learn some of these tunes and come play/sing them with us each month!
