This is a progression document with various progressions of many Jazz Standards. You'll find the progressions listed by song names on the Section menu.
While most of this stuff seems old fashioned and dusted at first glance (especially if you choose a boring or not so suitable sketch to preview them), there are a lot interesting details inside that you can learn from. For instance, how to change to a different key with only 1 chord, insert secondary dominant chords and chromatic bridges, build a nice turnaround, and much more.
Each progression includes a verse, bridge and chorus. Some songs are verse only. You probably want to copy/paste your way towards your own work anyway.
Put this file in your "Progressions" folder under "Config" in your personal documents directory. This will load the progressions into your Harmony template menu on startup.
Enjoy!
