Summary of This Book
The Real Christmas Book - B Flat Edition is a Christmas fake book designed for musicians who want to combine the joy of essential melodies with harmonic richness. You will find 150 arrangements dedicated to Christmas standards (carols) as well as more contemporary holiday songs, presented in a particularly readable and practical "Real Book" format. The goal is simple: to offer an immediately usable playing base while providing carefully crafted jazz-style chord progressions to enrich accompaniment and open the door to improvisation.
Thanks to this B flat edition, the reading is adapted to the relevant transposing instruments, which facilitates integration in groups (jazz combo, big band, brass/woodwind ensemble) or performance situations. Whether you are looking to accompany a singer, build an end-of-year setlist, or vary your reharmonizations without losing the melody, this collection is an effective and inspiring resource. An essential tool for working on jazz language within a festive repertoire, while maintaining an accessible and "musician-friendly" approach.
