Hal Leonard publishes some really great collections of piano solo arrangements of jazz standards. The difficulty ranges from things I can play (intermediate level) to things it'll be a while until I can play. But these do not come with recordings, even online. Fortunately, they have started putting them on MuseScore. You can't download them without paying (I've already paid for the books!), but you can listen to them (played via MIDI), which can be very helpful, especially for getting the rhythms right.
I've created a 'set' on MuseScore with all of the songs from the Gershwin book in it. Links for the individual songs are below.
- Bidin' My Time
- But Not For Me
- Embraceable You
- Fascinating Rhythm
- A Foggy Day (In London Town)
- How Long Has This Been Going On?
- I Got Plenty O' Nothin'
- I Got Rhythm
- I Loves You, Porgy
- I've Got a Crush On You
- It Ain't Necessarily So
- Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
- Love Is Here to Stay
- Love Walked In
- The Man I Love
- Nice Work If You Can Get It
- Oh, Lady Be Good!
- 'S Wonderful
- Somebody Loves Me
- Someone To Watch Over Me
- Summertime
- They All Laughed
- They Can't Take That Away From Me
