Give a little more direction where you're looking to take it. Do you want to be the melodic force or play accompaniment? How does the audition work? If you have to play by yourself you'll probably want accompaniment. You could try My Favorite Things. Its got a good rhythm and melodic track. Anything by Charlie Christian and Wes Montgomery are good. Heres a site i found that has a bunch of standards in it. http://guitar-primer.com/Charts/index2.html

I'm not a jazz player, but some times me and my friend free-style some jazz for the fun of it. Try learning your scales, than it will come to you.

[Coco(R)]

which scales?

[smfulla]

all of them =]
ummm try learning something like, "Girl From Ipanema", "All of Me", "Autumn leaves"

Some good beginner jazz songs
