The Real Book – Volume I – Sixth Edition Bass Clef Edition by Various Bass Clef Instrument - Sheet Music

By Various

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!

    Fun Way to Dive into Jazz Standards

    I've always wanted to play more jazz, and this Real Book is fantastic! It's great to have so many classic tunes by "Various" legendary artists in one place. The "easy-medium to medium" level means it's challenging but totally achievable for a weekend player like me. I love just flipping through and finding new songs to learn for pure enjoyment.
