Wikpedia gives:
A jazz standard is a jazz tune that is held in continuing esteem and which
is widely known, performed, and recorded among jazz musicians as part of
the
jazz musical repertoire. There is no definitive list of jazz standards,
and
the list of songs deemed to be "jazz standards" changes over time.
Moreover,
there are different jazz standards for the different musical styles and
subgenres that make up jazz, such as swing, bebop, and fusion.
