The Christmas collection that all jazz cats will want in their stocking! The Real Christmas Book - 2nd Edition - B-flat Edition comes with hundreds of Christmas classics and a whole lot of history. Dating back to the 1940s, jazz musicians used “fake books” for their nightly gigs. These books contained basic melodies or chords–the cliff notes of full compositions–enough for musicians to “fake” their way through a song. Although popular, they were illegally produced and distributed... Cue Hal Leonard! Hal Leonard acquired the necessary materials to bring musicians the first legitimate and legal version of The Real Book. For jazz musicians in need of some variety, there are dozens of Real Books for different genres, instruments, and even specialty themes–like Christmas! Whether you're playing at the next holiday party, or rockin' around the tree at home, The Real Christmas Book is just what you need. Featuring plastic comb binding, lyrics, and 150 traditional and contemporary Christmas hits, it's a miracle that this collection fits underneath the tree! Find all the best jingles such as: All I Want for Christmas Is You • Auld Lang Syne • Baby, It's Cold Outside • Blue Christmas • The Chipmunk Song • The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) • Christmas Time Is Here • Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Op. 71a • Feliz Navidad • Happy Holiday • Happy Xmas (War Is Over) • (There's No Place Like) Home for the Holidays • I'll Be Home for Christmas • I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm • It Must Have Been the Mistletoe (Our First Christmas) • It's Beginning to Look like Christmas • Last Christmas • Merry Christmas, Darling • My Favorite Things • Santa Baby • Santa, Bring My Baby Back (To Me) • Silver Bells • We Need a Little Christmas • You're All I Want for Christmas • and more. The Real Christmas Book is your ticket to the North Pole this holiday season! While this version is written for Bb instruments, check out the rest of the Real Book Series for editions in C, E-flat, and Bass Clef.

Essential Christmas Gig Book
This is a must-have for holiday gigs! The Real Christmas Book for B-flat instruments has accurate chord symbols and a vast selection of classic and contemporary tunes. The plastic comb binding is crucial – it lies flat on the stand, no wrestling with pages mid-song. It's truly a comprehensive, reliable source for any Christmas request, making it easy to 'fake' my way through any set with professionalism.

Great Accompaniment Resource with Lyrics
This B-flat Real Christmas Book is surprisingly versatile for a collaborative pianist. Although designed for lead instruments, the clear melody lines and chord symbols provide an excellent framework for improvising accompaniments. With lyrics included, I can easily support a singer, adapting the piano texture to suit their vocal range and style, ensuring a cohesive performance for various Christmas and jazz pieces.

Fun Christmas Jazz for Home Playing!
As an adult learner, I love diving into this Real Christmas Book. It's so much fun to play through these Christmas and jazz standards, and the fake book format makes them very approachable for a weekend player. While it doesn't give a full arrangement, playing the melodies and chords from 'Various' classic tunes is relaxing and helps me sound like I'm playing with a band. Great enjoyment for the holidays!
