Jazz knows no limits and no boundaries. Following such logic, I have liberally placed tunes from “avant-garde” artists on this list. I believe that slightly eccentric creators such as Sun Ra and Pharoah Sanders are every bit as important to jazz as are Billie Holiday and Dave Brubeck.
This is not a list that was thrown together lightly, either. It was stitched together one song at a time, minute by minute, hour by hour. It was written, re-written, and revised again. As much as I love jazz, narrowing it down to just the top 100 songs was almost too limiting a task. I’m sure there are plenty of worthwhile tracks that I failed to include.
I know that when I listen to jazz, just like any other form of music, the songs I decide to play are largely dependent upon my mood at that given time. Anyway, enough idle chatter. Here is my compilation of the top 100 jazz songs of all time. I've written detailed paragraphs for my top 20. Below that are 80 more great tunes. Below is my complete list of the 100 top jazz songs of all time.

Before I go any further, I need to make a couple of things clear. First, I really love jazz music. It is an important part of my everyday life and I cannot begin to imagine my existence without jazz in it. However, I am not what you would call a 'purist.' I firmly believe that artists who are not traditionally labeled as jazz artists can still create amazing jazz compositions.
For example, I included a couple of artists on this list that might raise a few eyebrows. Artists like Jeff Beck and Frank Zappa, who are usually classified in the rock-n'-roll genre, have made major contributions to the genre. Their jazz cuts brim with the same creativity, passion, and inventiveness as that which made Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong, and W.C.
Handy the icons that they are.

It is one of the best examples of modal jazz. The song is set in the Dorian mode. It consists of 16 bars of D Dorian, followed by eight bars of E♭ Dorian and another eight of D Dorian.

Good list, Illuminatus.
This also gives a handle on how you define jazz - I mean there's some cats around who swear Kenny G plays jazz, can you believe that? My list would be different, but like you, mine would also be heavy on Miles and Trane. The world will eat itself before there is anyone better. My own list would probably have some of the Duke, Satchmo, Sidney Bechet, Clifford Brown, Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, guys like that.
But jazz is a learning process; the more exposure a listener gets the more he wants to hear more. Glad to see you had Mingus' Hog Callin' Blues in the list; that song featured probably the best Rahsaan Roland Kirk solo ever. Firing up the mp3 player.
I was going to light into you at first, but I read the disclaimer by you in the beginning.this is Your top 100 jazz songs. I think its odd you hardly any singers,or,have very limited knowledge of jazz vocalists,ie;Mr.B(rhythm of the riff),Johnny Hartman, Eddie Jefferson- Jennine, King Pleasure,Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald,only one Cannonball Adderley??( Nat wrote several jazz classics, Work Song,Jive Samba, where are Strayhorn tunes, Lush life, Cheslea Bridge,a Flower is a Lovesome Thing,etc.
