The Real Book - Volume 1 - Sixth Edition
The Real Books have earned the distinction of being the best-selling jazz books in history. Since the 1970s, these volumes have been the trusted companions of musicians, guiding them through countless gigs night after night. However, there was a significant issue with the initial production and distribution of these books: they were created and circulated illegally, without any consideration for copyright law or the payment of royalties to the composers who crafted these musical gems.
Hal Leonard takes great pride in presenting the very first legitimate and lawful editions of these books. You'll hardly notice the difference, except for the fact that all the notorious errors have been rectified. The covers and typeface maintain their familiar appearance, the song list remains nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even more budget-friendly than the original. Every responsible and conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefiting the songwriters who deserve recognition for some of the greatest tunes ever composed.
This comprehensive collection includes 400 songs that span the jazz spectrum, featuring timeless classics like "All Blues," "Autumn Leaves," "Body and Soul," "My Funny Valentine," "Take Five," and many more. Our editions are also available in B-flat, E-flat, and Bass Clef versions, ensuring accessibility for a wide range of instrumentalists. If you're looking for a specific song, you can easily locate it using the Real Book Songfinder.
