What is a Jazz standard?

Jazz standards are a pretty important part of the genre - but what is a jazz standard? And what makes a particular song a jazz standard? This video unpacks both those questions and a bunch of other stuff you didn't ask for.

This is the first in a series of videos I'm making called 'The Jazz Standards". Each goes into detail about a particular standard and features a couple of important recordings. Watch all the videos here: All my 'The Jazz Standards' videos:    • The Jazz Standards  

I'm Tim Beau Bennett, and I'm making videos about jazz history. Sometimes I talk about jazz musicians, sometimes the songs, and sometimes about genres. I play jazz guitar, though I would call myself a keen amateur, rather than a professional. These videos are a work in progress, but there are many more to come - so please subscribe and let me know what you'd like to see in the comments!
