Product 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 that all of the notorious errors have been 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!

5 out of 5 stars The Real Real Book   October 19, 2008
I had to search for this book, because all I could find in stores was "the New Real Book." This real book is well edited, practical and of course in the key of C (for guitar). I appreciate the simplicity of this book as well, which makes for a very elegant and useful collection of jazz standards. I would not settle for one of the newer collections of jazz standards such as "the New Real Book," which is clearly named to trick musicians who are looking for this book.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book for Teaching   October 16, 2008
This book is excellent for extending your chord vocabulary, sight reading skills, and improves skills while you learn some really great jazz standards! If you want to become really good, get THE REAL BOOK!

It arrived in mint condition within two weeks even though I live in the EU.



5 out of 5 stars A Necessity for Jazz Musicians   June 2, 2008
Put simply, if you want to play jazz, you need to know the tunes in this book. My guitar teachers have given mixed reviews of some of the arrangements of the tunes, but nonetheless, the Real Book is a must-have for any serious jazz musician.


5 out of 5 stars Accurate and easy   May 27, 2008
I am very pleased with The Real Book, 6th edition. It is clearly formatted, the chords are all proper, and the song selection is diverse. This is a great book for newbies to jazz and seasoned six string vets as well. I would not hesitate to recommend it to either.
