The All-Jazz Real Book (C Version) [B0305]

2001 spiral-bound 544-page 12x10-inch PB (without its CD). The only fake book that includes a free audio download (available at shermusic.com), featuring many of the melodies played by saxophone great Bob Sheppard and Friends. All original compositions by the best jazz Chick Corea, Coltrane, Horace Silver, Michael Brecker, Miles, John Scofield, etc. Like all Sher Music fake books, it features composer-approved transcriptions, easy-to-read calligraphy, and many extras (sample bass lines, chord voicings, drum appendix, etc.) not found in conventional fake books.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Amazing book! I was looking for jazz charts to help with my guitar playing. As a student, there is a great deal in this book I find challenging but - that's what I was looking for."; "The All-Jazz Real Book is a sturdy, well-constructed volume. The strong plastic, large-diameter spiral binding allows the book to set open and legible on any page whether on the music stand or piano. The charts in this C-version use chord notation from Standard Chord Symbol Notation (Brandt and Roemer). These large-print symbols are easy to read off the page. Lyrics are provided for songs that have them. This is a hip jazz book that goes beyond the expected. Do not look for "Caravan" or "Embraceable You" here. Instead, the carefully selected tunes fall into three genres: classic jazz (Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, etc.), international forms (Jobim, Eddie Palmieri, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, etc.), and contemporary jazz. Some examples of contemporary jazz, which fills half the book, are Astral Project, Kurt Elling, and John Scofield. Indexing is by title. Additionally, an appendix lists the source albums or sheets."
