Summary of This Book
The Trane Book
The John Coltrane Real Book is an anthology dedicated to one of the most influential saxophonists and composers of the 20th century. Designed in the spirit of a fake book, this collection brings together a wide selection of themes and pieces essential for deeply exploring Coltrane's aesthetic, from fiery hard bop to modal atmospheres, and even more meditative and spiritual works.
It includes many essential pieces that mark the learning of jazz and repertoire study: "Giant Steps," "Naima (Niema)," "Impressions," "My Favorite Things," "Blue Train (Blue Trane)," "Countdown," "Equinox," "Central Park West," and "Crescent." The book also offers a wide variety of less frequently played titles, valuable for enriching a set, varying keys, and exploring other harmonic colors.
Whether you are a melodic instrumentalist, pianist, guitarist, or arranger seeking material, this collection provides a solid foundation for working on reading, accompaniment, ear training, and especially improvisation. Thanks to the breadth of the selection (over 125 pieces), you can build progressive paths: accessible themes, blues and mid-tempos, then more demanding pieces to develop speed, rhythmic precision, and understanding of chord progressions.
