DESCRIPTION
The New Real Book has been the new standard in jazz fake books since 1988, and it's easy to see why it stuck. Editor Chuck Sher assembled 234 tunes split evenly between standards, jazz classics and pop-fusion hits, making this the all-purpose book for jazz gigs, weddings, jam sessions and just about anything else you get called for.
Every chart is a lead sheet for C instruments with chord symbols, and many tunes include lyrics as well. The transcriptions are composer-approved and set in clear, easy-to-read calligraphy, so you can read them under less-than-ideal stage lighting without squinting.
Like the publisher's other fake books, this one includes extras you won't find in conventional collections — sample bass lines, chord voicings and a drum notation appendix. It has been endorsed by McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Dave Liebman and many more.
The 366-page paperback is spiral bound so it stays open on a music stand, and measures 25 x 30.5 cm.
