Essential for Jazz Students!
This Real Book is a fantastic resource for my intermediate piano students transitioning into jazz. The clear engraving (now error-free!) makes reading lead sheets a breeze, and the included USB tracks are invaluable for practicing rhythm and improvisation. It encourages students to develop their own voicings and melodic ideas, fostering true musical understanding. Highly recommend for any serious music program.

Pure Jazz Joy with Play-Alongs!
As an adult learner, I absolutely love this Real Book! It has all the classic jazz standards I recognize, and the play-along USB is so much fun. It helps me feel like I'm playing with a band, making it easier to learn melodies and chords. The notation is clear, and even as a weekend player, I feel like I'm really making progress and sounding great. Hours of relaxing enjoyment!

The Gold Standard, Now Better
You can't go wrong with The Real Book, and this Hal Leonard edition with the backing tracks is a game-changer. The chord symbols are accurate, and having a legitimate, error-corrected version is crucial for professional gigs. It's the standard for a reason – covers all the essential jazz tunes, making it reliable for any request or setting. A must-have for every working musician's bag.

Versatile Accompaniment Tool
This Real Book is a solid choice for collaborative pianists and vocal coaches. The lead sheet format allows for flexible accompaniment, perfectly supporting vocalists without doubling the melody unless desired. The extensive list of standards ensures a broad repertoire is covered. While no specific vocal range is noted, the 'C Instrument' charts are easily adaptable through transposition, a standard practice for coaches.

Great for an individual
I bought this because I haven't been able to connect with any other players in my town. These tracks are like Abersol tracks with piano/bass/drums , except fewer choruses. Songs are all 3-4 minutes so great for a single player to practice or even perform, if the situation was right.
Two minor drawbacks. First is that the songs include "standard" alterations to tunes with an intro or ending loop. Not a big deal but they aren't always obvious. Second is that there are no real options - they are what they are. There is a speed option but it cuts the speed in half, which isn't really useful.
