(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 copyrights or royalties
paid to the master composers who created these musical canons. 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...the
covers look the same, the engravings look the same, the songlist is
nearly identical, and the price remains fair even on a musician's
salary! But every conscientious musician will appreciate that these
books are now produced legally and ethically, benefitting the
songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest music ever written! 400
songs, including: Air Mail Special * Birdland * Bye Bye Blackbird *
Caravan * Doxy * Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words) * Georgia *
Girl Talk * In Walked Bud * I Remember You * I Thought About You *
The Jody Grind * Just the Way You Are * Killer Joe * Little Sunflower
* Mercy, Mercy, Mercy * Moanin' * The Nearness of You * Now's the
Time * Old Devil Moon * Phase Dance * St. Thomas * Speak Low *
Stardust * Tangerine * Tenor Madness * Watch What Happens * Whisper
Not * Willow Weep for Me * Yardbird Suite * and more. Editions also
available in C, E-flat, and Bass Clef. Looking for a particular song?
