In my experience at jam sessions the most popular was none other that Mr. Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" with the Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" a close second.

The few jams I have played in seem to always feature "Whipping Post".  Not my favorite tune, although the little time changes are fun.

It is not my favorite either but it is on my list.

Branford Marsalis helped a jazz club in our town ... many years ago, and some of the best musicians in town were in the audience for what was supposed to be an open jam. Nobody was dumb enough to go up, so he jammed with the house band for about three hours. All standards, but they did play a couple of old school R&B tunes that he blew the roof off with.

Nope - never did it (I luv this one ala Young Rascals style), however, since it is California here "Wipe Out" was always another popular tune at jams.

If you're going to be jamming with Jazz musicians on a regular basis you better get familiar with something called "The Real Book, sixth edition"  This has been around forever and serious players probably have a copy.  Use Barts link to amazon and you'll find it for around $20.

Includes 400 songs: All Blues * Au Privave * Autumn Leaves * Black Orpheus * Bluesette * Body and Soul * Bright Size Life * Con Alma * Dolphin Dance * Don't Get Around Much Anymore * Easy Living * Epistrophy * Falling in Love with Love * Footprints * Four on Six * Giant Steps * Have You Met Miss Jones? * How High the Moon * I'll Remember April * Impressions * Lullaby of Birdland * Misty * My Funny Valentine * Oleo * Red Clay * Satin Doll * Sidewinder * Stella by Starlight * Take Five * There Is No Greater Love * Wave * etc, etc,
