Standards
A “standard” in it’s broadest sense is a (jazz) tune that is “played a lot” by jazz musicians. Originally a standard is a broadway, musical or film tune that is “adopted” by jazz musicians and added to their regular repertoire.

Beautiful Love is yet another standard that is played quite often at jamsessions. It hovers mostly around it’s key center D minor.
