the reason you can't find any FREE printable stuff is because most likely the music is still in copyright, Jazz was invented just last century so that means jazz sheet music will most likely still be in copyright. Free copyrighted music is illegal unless whoever copyrighted it allows it to be.

What I mean when I say "free" is download it on the computer and then print it out. Now do you get what I'm saying? I can't find any websites with it.

I just told you, since the music is probably still in copyright, it would be illegal for a website to have where you could simply download it and print it out.

OK, then I'll just have to buy jazz music at a store? alright well thank-you for answering my question

if you find some pieces you like, you can look on google / images, sometimes they have a free preview page which you can blow up (zoom) and print off. recently i found alone and inner city stomp / christoper norton via that. but i guess its just some luck too. (and then others with AM7 and other markings confuse the hell out of me how to actually play them)

Sorry to mislead you. The books I was referring to come from Hal Leonard Publishing https://www.halleonard.com/

They have a huge selection. The books I have only contain lead sheets. So the terms intermediate, beginner, etc., don't really apply. The next quote illustrates the quandary.

You both will need to find a teacher or maybe a book to show you how to realize/expand the markings. From a bass player's point of view AM7 means that I can play an A or E on beats one and three and can include a C# when I "walk the notes" on two and four. Am7 means an optional C natural on two and four. The 7 seldom applies to what we play except in solos.
