Detailed 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 regard to copyright law or royalties paid to the composers who created these musical masterpieces.
Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won’t even notice the difference, other than that all of the notorious errors have been fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even cheaper than the original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefitting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all time.
If you’re looking to improve your jazz chops either at home or at a gig, join the millions of other players who rely on the Real Book!
Includes 400 songs: All Blues • Au Privave • Autumn Leaves • 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 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 hundreds more! Editions are also available in B-flat, E-flat, and Bass Clef.

G. Venolia –
I bought all three volumes of this series. I like the hefty comb binding that lies flat on the music stand. The printing is large enough and simple enough to be read easily, even in slightly dimmed light. There is plenty of room to add one’s own notes. There are some streamlined performance notes. I appreciate the index in the front. It has a variety of songs from the most revered jazz classics to some popular numbers. Still, the series does not have ALL the songs ever written during the jazz and swing era. That doesn’t seem humanly possible, so I didn’t expect it.
BUT somehow I got it in my head that it had the words. Guess I was wrong. No words. This is not a huge deal because the words are pretty easy to get on the Internet whereas the tunes are not. Still, I wish the words were included. There is enough room on most of the pages, as they stand, that the words could have been included. As I collect the words I will hand print them under the staffs. Lack of words is the only reason I did not give all 5 stars.

Amazon Customer –
My jazz buddy recommended this book. He has a weekly jazz jam at a local bistro and this made it easy to sit in with them.
Nancy Ann –
This book of music had exactly what it said, as promised. No disappointments here.
Linda –
I have wanted to buy a copy of this book ever since it was recommended by my jazz improvisation teacher, back in my university days, which was many years ago. It was called the “Real Book” as a tongue-in-cheek answer to all the Jazz “Fake Books” that had been circulating, basically in the same format, but with different songs. At that time, the huge price deterred me and most of the other students from buying it, so we just relied on some xeroxed copies given to us for study by the teacher. Even without having the benefit of being able to try out more of the pieces in the book, it did open up the possibilities for us to understand improvisation and encouraged us to really learn the advanced chords. As I remember, the book back then was close to $100, and I was surprised to see it now for less than half that price, a new and un-used book! It arrived in perfect shape this morning, and I am looking forward to trying out some of the tunes, re-learning some of the more advanced chords. This book is written in very easy-to-read hand-written musical notes, adding to its charm. Black Orpheus, by the way, is listed as “Black Orpheus”, instead of its alternate name of “Manha di Carnavale”, as it appears in some other books. The book is published now by Hal Leonard, which was probably why the book has lowered in price, as it is mass-produced now, but it has not been altered from its original content or form. They do state that the errors have been corrected. I don’t know what those errors are, or if there are any other errors in this edition, but it looks good to me! The plastic comb format makes it really easy to read from any music stand. It stays open, no matter what. I’m happy that Hal Leonard did not “re-work” the original format. I have seen that there are more volumes to this book, which I have never seen in person, but if you click the section on the page “Real Book Songfinder”, it cross-references any song and locates it within one or more of the volumes. So if you are looking for one or more particular songs, do use that link on this page, and you might decide to get one of the other volumes as well.
At 462 pages of sheer music, I think this Real Book is a great value!
J. H. –
Liked the accuracy of chords and notation. Have a chord book handy if you’re not already familiar with most jazz chords. The ability to read music notation is necessary but that should just add to the learning experience. 400 plus songs including most standards.
alvaro gastelum –
Dieser Jazz-Standards-Sampler wurde von einem Englischen Bassisten sehr empfohlen; ich bin ganz zufrieden daß ich den jetzt erhalten konnte
Rolf Wennekamp –

Francine Brault –
Indispensable si quieres tomarte el jazz en serio-
Hans Peter Detering –
Básicamente contiene todos los standards de jazz que normalmente los musicos llevan en fotocopias o se descargan en pdf. Esta es una compilación bien encuadernada y bonita y super económica. Sirve tanto para coleccionismo como para usarla en tu día a día
