In my classification of tunes I distinguish between what I call "standards" (pop songs or Broadway or film songs adopted by jazz musicians, substantial overlap with the "Great American Songbook) and "jazz" tunes (composed by jazz musicians).
The first 100 tunes were taken from Ethan Iverson's list of 100 standards and are almost all of the former variety. I still need to upload a decent selection of tunes by jazz composers before deployment (Eventually almost any song considered a "standard" will exist as a public tune but for now a representative sampling is fine)
