Chord data for many jazz standards

JazzStandards

This repository contains chord data for a large number of jazz standards (currently pulled from the iReal Pro database: https://www.irealpro.com/main-playlists).

The goal of the data format is to be consise, easily human-readable (and editable), and easy to parse.

The container format is currently json.

Here is an example:
