Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: The Real Book Rocks! The Real Book is the only book we rely on in jazz band at my school... only problem is that the binding is really flimsy, but I'll get that fixed at Kinko's! Real Book Great collection of classic tunes. Well notated and very east to read on a gig! the real book sixth edition In general most of the music arrangements were fine. I found that a number Missing important tunes.. This is not like the old fake books.. Many important jazz tunes missing. Newer crap tunes instead.. that I would never play. Your best choice for real jazz This legal 6th edition version is becoming the new standard. Many gripe about missing tunes and different chord changes compared to 5th edition, which was used for 30 years, but complaints seem to come from folks who bought the bootleg 5th edition for $40-50 and can't accept that this newer legit version is only $20. Sour grapes, I think. You decide. Bootleg version is assembled from messy looking photocopies, is expensive, not always easy to find (it's illegal), and finding the Eb, Bb, and bass clef versions can be tough. This Hal Leonard version is clean and easy to read, songwriters are compensated, and readily available in all keys for a low price. Contrary to what some people have said, most musicians that play jazz DO use charts on the bandstand. Nowadays, this is the book to get. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
