Description
The Real Books have long been the go-to resource for jazz musicians, standing strong as the best-selling jazz books since the 1970s. Trusted by countless musicians for gigs and performances, these books have earned their legendary status.
However, the original editions were produced and distributed illegally, with no consideration for copyright laws or the rightful royalties to the composers. In a significant step forward, Hal Leonard proudly presents the first legitimate and legal versions of these iconic books.
This new edition is crafted with care and accuracy, correcting the notorious errors of the past. The covers and typeface maintain their classic appearance, the song list remains nearly identical, and remarkably, these editions are more affordable than the originals.
Ethically produced, this edition ensures that the songwriters receive the credit and compensation they deserve. Musicians can now enjoy these resources with a clear conscience, knowing they are supporting the creators of some of the greatest jazz tunes ever composed.
Featuring an impressive collection of 400 songs, including:
- All Blues
