Summary of This Book
This Real Book is a true anthology dedicated to Latin music, designed for instrumentalists who want access to a large number of standards in a single volume. It offers an impressive overview of essential themes and classics from the repertoire, with iconic titles such as "Bésame Mucho", "The Girl From Ipanema", "Wave", "Oye Como Va", "Spain", and "Manteca". This diversity allows exploration of very contrasting moods, from festive grooves to the lyricism of ballads, while staying rooted in the "standard" spirit: pieces made to be played, revisited, rearranged, and improvised.
Thanks to its wide selection of pieces, this book is aimed both at jazz musicians curious to deepen their knowledge of Latin jazz and at enthusiasts of bossa nova or salsa who want to expand their repertoire. It is an excellent practice tool to develop rhythmic consistency (clave, montuno, bossa), refine timing, and assimilate the typical harmonic colors of these styles. In rehearsal as well as in concert, this collection quickly becomes a reference for having a solid, varied, and immediately usable Latin repertoire.
