Description
What's a real book?
It's a book containing the sheet music for hundreds of popular jazz "standards", in a very concise format. It's done this way for easy sight-reading - as well as to allow room for so many songs in a single book! So, rather than full notation, it only includes the notated lead/vocal melody and the chord names for each song, so many songs will be on a single page. The fake book is a great thing to have on a gig; if someone requests (or the bandleader calls) a song that you don't know by heart, you can easily sight-read the changes and jump right in!
Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Around since the 1970s, these books have been in many player's gig bags - but there was one big problem: they weren't legal! These long-used books were printed in small quantities, and the ones you could find were often photo-copied and hand-bound... because they were produced without any regard to copyright law. So no royalties were paid to the composers who created these musical masterpieces. (And you thought that music theft was a new problem!)
However - these new books are the first legitimate and legal edition of these books ever produced. Other than the good karma that comes with using a legally produced edition, you won't even notice the difference (oh yeah - one other change: all the notorious errors have been fixed). But the cover and typeface looks the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price is even cheaper than that of the original!
This version is specifically for bassists, and includes 400 songs. See full song list, below.
