I check out many sources published on paper (the Chuck Sher Real Books, collections devoted to Cole Porter, George Gershwin, the Beatles, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael, Wayne Shorter, Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Joe Henderson, Dexter Gordon, Woody Shaw, Jobim, Djavan, Pat Metheny, Chico Buarque, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, many different Hal Leonard and Jamey Aebersold compilations), online sources (Ralph Patt's website, Real Book Online), and a corpus of the chord progressions of 400 vintage tunes sent to me by a collector from the Netherlands. If I'm unable to find a tune in any other way, I'll consult unauthorized samizdat publications that circulate among jazz musicians.
