Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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: All Blues * Au Privave * Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes) * Black Orpheus * Bluesette * Body and Soul * Bright Size Life * Con Alma * Dolphin Dance * Don't Get Around Much Anymore * Easy Living * Epistrophy * Falling in Love with Love * Footprints * Four * Four on Six * Giant Steps * Have You Met Miss Jones? * How High the Moon * I'll Remember April * Impressions * Lullaby of Birdland * Misty * My Funny Valentine * Oleo * Red Clay * Satin Doll * Sidewinder * Stella by Starlight * Take Five * There Is No Greater Love * Wave * and more!




Rating: - horrible binding
not going to talk about the content, because there are plenty of other reviews that go into great detail. i have vol 1/2, and both of the bindings are breaking with pages falling out of the back of the book. my advice is to take out the binding and holepunch all the pages and put it in a binder if you travel around with your realbook in a backpack, because it will get messed up. i don't really abuse my books either, but they do get a lot of use as i am a music student and pretty much every realbook ...

Rating: - The Real Real Book
I had to search for this book, because all I could find in stores was "the New Real Book." This real book is well edited, practical and of course in the key of C (for guitar). I appreciate the simplicity of this book as well, which makes for a very elegant and useful collection of jazz standards. I would not settle for one of the newer collections of jazz standards such as "the New Real Book," which is clearly named to trick musicians who are looking for this book.

Rating: - Great Book for Teaching
This book is excellent for extending your chord vocabulary, sight reading skills, and improves skills while you learn some really great jazz standards! If you want to become really good, get THE REAL BOOK!

Rating: - A Necessity for Jazz Musicians
Put simply, if you want to play jazz, you need to know the tunes in this book. My guitar teachers have given mixed reviews of some of the arrangements of the tunes, but nonetheless, the Real Book is a must-have for any serious jazz musician.
