I couldn't disagree more. Jazz repertoire are all the standards out there. 50,000 tunes just waiting to be indelibly etched into your brain. How long until a fake book is memorized? All those great tunes and changes provide inspiration for your "next" chorus! Knowing that stuff makes you "saleable"!
