college audition tape

[deftones]

Hey, I'm in need of three jazz songs for my college audtion tape to get into the music department of William Patterson for Sound Engineering Arts. I need one up-tempo song, one mid-tempo song, and one ballad. These songs need to demonstrate my ability to play as a soloist and as a group. My skill level is intermediate and I have a little less than two months to learn these songs. So what I am asking for are suggestions of songs to put onto the audition tape since I don't know any jazz songs.

Thank you in advance.

Do autumn leaves to

I might take some private lessons with a jazz teacher to get you up to speed.

Try these. They are some easier options out of the jazz repertoire.

up tempo - Mr. PC by John Coltrane

mid tempo - Autumn Leaves

ballad - Polkadots and moonbeams

"Autumn Leaves" and "Polkadots and moonbeams" can be found in a fake book called "The new real book volume 1". Mr. PC I think is in volume 2.
