Jazz guitar pieces?


Hey, im looking for some jazz pieces to play on guitar. preferably solo, but ensemble too please. I know some but i don't know where to find more.
I'm at grade 6, so anything you can reccommend. Thank you.

some tunes to learn

Misty
autumn leaves
summertime
softly as in a morning sunrise
Billies Bounce

Check out any old recording you can get of Joe Pass and/or Les Paul.

Challenging stuff, though.

Listen to the album "My Goals Beyond" by John McLaughlin. There are some great pieces on there for solo acoustic guitar. My favourite on that album is Goodbye Porkpie Hat, an old Charles Mingus number. You can find the music for it online somewhere.

I recommend the Music Minus One website...they have some excellent book/CD sets of old jazz standards for guitar, and some good Intermediate and beyond jazz guitar instruction booklets...most have the "play-along" CD accompaniments...great for getting your chops together.
