The one I looked at-A-D-had 20 tunes per disc, 60 total, for 25 bucks (-probably cheaper at Amazon). The sets are divided alphabetically (A-D is the first one) and each contains 3 discs. I was in a music store the other day and noticed The Real Book Play-Along (for the 6th Edition). This index/search of songs in Real Books helps: Last edited by fep at 02:13 AM. So I'm often looking through all these books to find the best chart of any given song. It's a pain because I have all three volumes of the Real Book and all three volumes of the New Real Book and the Colorado Cookbook. The Colorado Cookbook and the New Real Book, because I'll use these charts for any band that I'm a member of. The Real Book because that's what everyone else has.

Also, I think the printing and font etc is easier to read in the Colorado Cookbook and the New Real Book. I've gotten to pretty much trust the Colorado Cookbook and the New Real Book and not trust the Real Book. The Colorado Cookbook and the New Real Book are more accurate than the Real Book. And when I've made the effort to research which is more accurate. Actually you'll find differences on a lot of tunes. The Colorado Cookbook has All Blues correct, it has the orginally recorded bass line notated, that bass line is crucial to having the song sound correct to the orginal, and it shows the second chord as C7/G.Ī Night in Tunisia. The Real Book with it's mistakes has become the way people know many of these tunes. That, that is now the way it is most often played. That's not what was played on Miles recording, The Bass line stays the same for the first eight measures, it stays on line starting with G - only the chords above the bass line change.īut that mistake has been repeated so many times, presumably because that's the way it's written in the Real Book. What I've run across more often than not is that Bass players will play the line correctly for the G7 chord and then move that same line up a fourth to play over the C7 chord thereby making the low note of the line a C. The Real Book 1 (I have the 5th edition) has the second chord as C7 and doesn't write out the bass line. They are more accurate to the orginal recordings. I prefer the charts in the Colorado Cookbook and the New Real series. That is why it is the most recommended book. By that I mean that is the book I see musicians have handy in case they need a lead sheet at a gig or a jam session. Too many The thing about the Real Book Volume 1 is it has become the industry standard real book.

I have so many Real Books and Fake books. Many overlapping tunes with The Real Book, and many have vocals.Īlternate chords as well. 'The Standards Real Book' by Sher is good also.

I'm not certain what the correlation is, but it seems to me that if you get 'The Real Vocal Book' vol1 and vol2, you get a good selection of songs from vol 1 and vol2 of the books suggested here. I play a bunch of these solo, and it's nice to have the words. Something to consider for singers: If you need the lyrics, then you'll need another source, since the books suggested here have no lyrics. Hal Leonard is proud to publish completely legal and. Since the 1970s, The Real Book has been the most popular book for gigging jazz musicians. Tunes like Night of Wine and Roses, Green Dolphin Street, What is This Thing Called Love, and practically the entire Chick Corea canon that were included in 5 are not present in 6. What you'd want edition 5 for are the significant number of tunes that are left out of edition 6 because of the trouble that would be required for securing the copyrighs. Edition 6 clears up most of these problems (there are a couple that remain, but most are minor). Edition 5 and all of the illegal real books have many mistakes in them in the way of melodies and chord changes, most notably to tunes like Round Midnight, Dolphin Dance, Footprints, etc.
