Edition DescriptionRevised edition
Synopsis(Fake Book). The Real Book - Sixth Edition - C Edition comes with hundreds of songs and a whole lot of history. Dating back to the 1940s, jazz musicians used Fake Books for their nightly gigs. These Fake Books contained basic melodies or chords-the cliff notes of full compositions-enough for musicians to "fake" their way through a tune. Although popular, these books were illegally produced and distributed. In the 1970s, two Berklee students put together The Real Book, a more organized version of Fake Books, but it still failed to acknowledge copyright law and the composers who created these musical pieces. Various editions were produced over the years, but none of them were above board. Cue Hal Leonard! Hal Leonard acquired the Real Book materials to bring musicians the first legitimate and legal version of the Real Book. The Real Book 6th Edition acknowledges the previous five illegal editions with its title and its contents. In this sheet music book, you will find legit works from all of your favorite jazz artists: Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, and more! This songbook is a must-have for jazz players with an appreciation for the classics. With 400 songs in total, The Real Book - Volume 1 includes titles such as: All Blues Body and Soul Falling in Love with Love Have You Met Miss Jones? My Funny Valentine Stella by Starlight Take Five, and hundreds more! While this book is written for C instruments, check out the rest of the Real Book series for the B-flat, E-flat, and Bass Clef editions., (Fake Book). 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 Editions also available in B-flat, E-flat, and Bass Clef.

REAL BOOK 6TH ED.
Lots of good tunes, mostly well written though there are still some errors and omissions, such as standard intros or endings that are left out. If used regularly the book soon starts falling apart , mostly because the cheap plastic comb . It would be better to have a metal wire coil to hold it together. The fake books I have with a metal wire have never needed replacement even after heavy use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I'd prefer an earlier edition
I had the 5th edition for Eb and there were a lot more jazz standards in it. I had hoped to have more or less the same tunes so I didn't have to transpose everything but I'm not recognizing a lot of the tunes in this edition. That said, there's plenty of music in this book, it's just that I'll have to go back to transposing...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Real Book and a Real Value
Solid set of tunes in a sweet standard issue Real Book plastic binding. It ain't a Sher metal spiral binding but we know that going in. For the money it's well worth it. I have Vol1 first edition from 1980 and it is falling apart. Was nice to get a new updated version.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Crucial Resource for We Mere Mortal Musicians
More and better formatted content than the "other" Real Book. I bought Vol2 also, in the mini format for comparison. Mini is readable from music stand distance. Both sizes have their place I'd say.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Bootleg
The book is described as "new" , a more accurate description would be "new bootleg". It is a xerox copy with flimsy plastic spline.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
