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! 400 songs, including Body and Soul, Easy Living, Take Five and hundreds more!

For collaborative pianists, The Real Book (Bb Edition) is a goldmine. While it provides the melody and chord symbols, it frees you to create an accompaniment texture that perfectly supports the vocalist's range and style. With 400 standards, it's ideal for coaching singers through varied jazz repertoire, allowing for great adaptability in performance settings.

You can't go wrong with The Real Book for gigs. This legal, spiral-bound edition means accurate chord symbols and melodies for quick learning and transposition. The vast selection of 400 jazz tunes, from 'Body and Soul' to 'Take Five,' ensures I'm ready for almost any request. It's the standard for a reason, and this version is cleaner than ever.

I just started playing the tenor sax 3 years ago. After going through the begginer books. I purchased this and an now playing out of it and using it for instruction with my tutor, along with playing with a group. I live in a retirement community and the songs go well with folks that reside.....great book!
