New to the group, and want to get prepared for a jam. Anyone want to share their list of tunes for this kind of jam session? I'm just starting out again on guitar, though chops are coming back, mostly rhythm at the moment, still working on soloing. My current practice sessions use these two Django tunes:

Minor Swing
Daphne

Please share you lists. Thanks!
