Description:

The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed, without any regard to copyright law, or royalties paid to the composers who created these musical masterpieces. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even notice the difference, other than all the notorious errors being fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even cheaper than the original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all time! Includes 400 songs: All Blues ? Au Privave ? Autumn Leaves ? Black Orpheus ? Bluesette ? Body and Soul ? Bright Size Life ? Con Alma ? Dolphin Dance ? Don't Get Around Much Anymore ? Easy Living ? Epistrophy ? Falling in Love with Love ? Footprints ? Four on Six ? Giant Steps ? Have You Met Miss Jones? ? How High the Moon ? I'll Remember April ? Impressions ? Lullaby of Birdland ? Misty ? My Funny Valentine ? Oleo ? Red Clay ? Satin Doll ? Sidewinder ? Stella by Starlight ? Take Five ? There Is No Greater Love ? Wave ? and hundreds more!

Do you really need a fake book in bass clef? Sep 25, 2008
By Selqet "Silky"
If you already know what fake books are, then you should already know that this is the most common one, so if you ever play with small combos where you don't have a lot of time to work out the music, you need one of these. This edition is a little different than the previous additions, some standards are gone, new ones added, partly because of changes in what songs get requested, but partly because this edition is fully legal (anyone who needed to be paid for copyright and so on, was taken care of). But this is a bass clef version, so I can see where it would be useful to a horn player who reads bass clef (I got it for trombone), but it's of much less use to a rhythm player, like a bass player. It only has the melody and chord changes for the standards, if you're a bass player you're going to be dissappointed that there aren't any bass lines, and without the bass lines, all you really need are the chord changes and the basic form of the songs, so I'd say, rely on the guitar or horn players to bring in their treble clef C key fake books, and learn to memorize.
