(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 and your customers 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 and music store
owner 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: Ain't Misbehavin' *
All or Nothing at All * Along Came Betty * Cheek to Cheek * East of
the Sun (And West of the Moon) * Funkallero * H & H * I've Got the
World on a String * I've Got You Under My Skin * The Jive Samba * The
Lady Is a Tramp * Milestones * Moonlight in Vermont * A Nightingale
Sang in Berkeley Square * On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever) * Samba
De Orfeu * Stormy Weather (Keeps Rainin' All the Time) * Things Ain't
What They Used to Be * The Very Thought of You * Violets for Your Furs
* Watermelon Man * and more. Editions also available in C, B-flat, and
E-flat. Looking for a particular song? Check out the Real Book
