Does anyone know of an online source for notated jazz tunes, rather than lead sheets? There are things like ABRSM jazz piano books but they seem to be printed copies only.

I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to but i have enjoyed paul johnston's books. Fully notated standard tunes with solo choruses. They sound great.

Hi

There are plenty of examples like this on Youtube

This one happens to be Oscar Peterson, which starts merely being very difficult and goes onto impossible levels (for the vast majority).
Just looking around I've seen Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans with similar audio and transcription.

I have on 1 or 2 occasions screen captured all the sheet music provided........

Maybe you were looking for something more playable than these sorts of things?!

Cheers

There are also books of arrangements by Dan Coates -- they're ideal for an intermediate to advanced classical player.

Thanks for the suggestions, I was ideally looking for something online and public domain so it was shareable. I'll see if there are any suitable youtube transcriptions (I guess they're technically/actually not public domain either!) to see if there are any suitably simple ones for the people I have in mind.

The OP seems to not want paper books, but here are a few that I like:

Hal Leonard has a Jazz Piano Solos series.

The William Gillock New Orleans Jazz Styles collection is worth having, although these are mostly original compositions and not arrangements.

Steinway has a "Piano Stylings of the Great Standards" series, and some related books released under different names (like "Elegant Piano"). Try searching Google for these. Unfortunately some of them are out of print and used copies are ridiculously priced.

The Steinway series is really great but the reading skills needed are pretty serious. I'm teaching book one with a student who is a great reader, and we are having fun with that series.
